Despite playing with just 10 men after Amit Rohidas was shown a red card, India managed to defeat Great Britain 4-2 in the shoot-out to seal their semi-final berth. 

With the victory, they remained on course to win their second consecutive Olympic medal. However, the key defender’s suspension has sparked quite a bit of controversy. 

Following the decision, Rohidas was also handed a one-match suspension and was penned by one of the technical delegates Joshua Burt. 

Talking about freak connections, Burt played a role of the Australia’s women’s team coach in the 2007 blockbuster movie, “Chak De! India.”

Interestingly, he played as the villain character, giving India a tough fight. Many fans took to their social media and slammed him, calling him a real-life villain. 

India will face Germany in the semi-final of the competition, and a win will ensure a silver medal, which they last won in 1960.
