A video of Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj arguing with the umpire after a hilarious overthrow in the second ODI against South Africa is going viral.
The overthrow incident happened during the second ODI in Ranchi.
The pandemonium started when South Africa’s stand-in captain Keshav Maharaj failed to connect with his shot. The ball went to wicketkeeper Sanju Samson who tossed the ball back to the pacer.
The right-arm pacer threw the ball at the stumps on the non-striker’s end. It missed the wickets by inches and it went to the boundary, resulting in four overthrows.
The viral clip ended Mohammed Siraj and Shreyas Iyer were seen arguing with the umpire who stood by his decision.
