Rohit Sharma addressed his on-field outburst of anger towards his opening partner Shubman Gill shortly after India sealed a comfortable victory over Afghanistan.

“These things happen. When it happens you feel frustrated, you want to be out there and score runs for the team. Everything will not go your way. We won the game, that's more important. I wanted Gill to carry on, unfortunately, got out after playing a very good little innings,” Sharma said.

Rohit, who made his T20 comeback after 14 months, was the victim of a run-out mix-up and was dismissed without making any runs.

The three-match series against Afghanistan is India's last before the T20 World Cup which is scheduled to be hosted by the United States and the West Indies in June. India won the series opener by six wickets in Mohali.

India skipper Rohit Sharma on Thursday said the team management will consciously put the players in uncomfortable situations ahead of the T20 World Cup in June.

"We want to keep trying different things - try and bowl our bowlers in different situations of the game, like you saw today, Washi (Washington Sundar) bowled the 19th over. We want to challenge ourselves in the areas we are slightly uncomfortable with and the bowlers are not used to that.
