A three-match T20 international series between India and Sri Lanka is underway. In the first match of the series, India’s only innings came off Suryakumar Yadav’s bat, scoring 50 off 34 balls with five fours and two sixes. He was not happy with the dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav, nor was Rahul Dravid the head coach. Coach Rahul Dravid’s disappointment became apparent soon after Suriyakumar handed the catch to substitute fielder Ramesh Mendis in the bowling delivery. Hasranga came in to bowl the 16th over of India’s innings and was greeted with a six by Suryakumar Yadav.
In the first delivery, Wahidu caught Suryakumar in his spin and hit a long shot, Suryakumar Yadav caught the catch and returned to the pavilion. Coach Dravid was sitting on the dugout at the time and wasn’t particularly happy to see such unwanted shots. The disappointment was evident in the face of Rahul Dravid, whose video is now widely shared on social media.
