New Delhi: Known to be a player of calm nature, Yuzvendra Chahal showed his other side on Sunday during the encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants. The leg spinner, though finished the match with four wickets in hand, was caught in an argument with the on-field umpire after the latter’s decision was not pleasing to Chahal.
The incident took place in the fifth delivery of the 18th over with Rajasthan Royals fielding. The delivery by Chahal was regarded as wide by the on-field umpire. However, the TV replay showed that the ball was marginally inside the line. Both Chahal and skipper Sanju Samson were not happy with the decision.
