Ex-England cricketer Kevin Pietersen said match referee Javagal Srinath should say that he got it wrong by accepting Harshit Rana as concussion substitute for Shivam Dube in the fourth India-England T20I. Pietersen stated that Rana was "never" a like-for-like replacement for Dube. Rana picked three wickets in the fourth T20I which India won by 15 runs.
