Paris Olympics 2024: The quarterfinal match between India and Great Britain had an intense start. Both teams were attacking with everything they had and every fan was on the edge of their seats.
It was looking like a wonderful match where the fans would talk about the attacks and moves for a very long time. But everything was overshadowed by one refereeing decision that turned the Indian fans around for worse.
The Indian contingent so far has mixed relations with the referees. Be it the controversial decision of Nishant Dev in boxing, the seeding position of Nikhat Zareen, and now a red card to Amith Rohidas.
Red Card To Amit Rohidas!
It is a must-win match for both teams as a loss will knock the team out from here. That is why both teams were attacking with everything they had. It was a wonderful game until the start of the second quarter.
At the start of the second quarter, Rohidas rushed Will Calnan to get the possession back for his team. During the tussle, Rohidas hit Will Calnan with his stick on the face. The replay shows it was perfectly unintentional and Amit had no idea of it.
But the field umpire sent the decision upstairs who deemed the hit to be intentional from the Indian player. Amit was given a red card which meant that India would be without one player for the rest of the match.
In such a big game, a disadvantage like this is like a suicide attack. It was visible in the third quarter when the Blues were forced to defend because of a shortage of one player. The Indian team is also struggling to keep possession after that.
Paris Olympics 2024: Fans Outrage
The fans were once again outraged by the referee’s decision and showed their anger on social media. Indian skipper Harmanpreet Singh was also angry with the Red Card as Rohidas is India’s main rusher and the best defender.
