India's Use of Concussion Substitute Draws Criticism After Series Win Over England

England captain Jos Buttler and others question the 'like-for-like' replacement of all-rounder Shivam Dube with pacer Harshit Rana during the fourth T20I.

India secured a 15-run victory in the fourth T20I against England, clinching the series 3-1, but the match was overshadowed by a substitution controversy.
Shivam Dube, who scored a crucial half-century, was replaced by debutant pacer Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute after being struck on the helmet during the innings break.
England captain Jos Buttler criticized the decision, arguing that Rana, a specialist fast bowler, was not a 'like-for-like' replacement for Dube, a batting all-rounder.
The ICC match referee approved the substitution, but Buttler expressed frustration over the lack of consultation and called for clarity on the decision-making process.
Rana played a key role in India's win, taking three wickets, including the dismissal of Jamie Overton, which ended England's chase in the final overs.
