Suryakumar Yadav’s argument with Marco Jansen took place during the 15th over of South Africa’s innings.
The first match of the four-match T20I series India vs South Africa was played in Durban on Friday. Team India won this match by 61 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the series. However, during the match, there was a heated argument between Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and South African player Marco Jansen. The umpire had to intervene to calm this debate.
Even the fans were surprised to see Suryakumar Yadav, who is usually seen calm and laughing on the field, angry like this. The reason for this argument between Suryakumar and Marco Janssen was first innings century-winner Sanju Samson. Let us tell you why there was an argument between Suryakumar Yadav and Yansen.
Tu-tu main-main between Surykumar Yadav and Marco Jansen
Actually all this happened in the 15th over of the innings. On the second ball of the over, Gerald Coetzee took a run by playing a shot towards the front. Sanju Samson accidentally went into the middle of the pitch, which is also called the ‘danger zone’, to catch the fielder’s throw. Marco Jansen looked unhappy with Samson’s action and said a few words to the Indian wicket keeper.
Seeing Marco Jansen doing this, captain Suryakumar Yadav came in between to defend Sanju Samson. During this time there was some confusion between Yansen and Suryakumar Yadav. Before the leg umpire intervened, Suryakumar Yadav was also seen explaining something to Gerald Coetzee in anger. Fans rarely get to see such an angry look of Suryakumar Yadav.
