Helmet was thrown, there was an argument with the umpire, the coach also came on the field, Virat Kohli caused a big uproar in Sri Lanka

In the second ODI match in Colombo, Rohit Sharma once again gave a strong start to Team India, but Virat Kohli, who came in after his dismissal, got a big relief in a short while when an umpire's decision against him was changed due to DRS, but the Sri Lankan players did not like this.

The ODI series being played between India and Sri Lanka is proving to be better than expected so far. While the first match ended in a thrilling tie, the second ODI also saw a good competition between the two teams. Although these matches seemed to be taking place without any controversy, but something happened in the second match which created a ruckus and the Sri Lankan players got very angry. The reason was Team India's star batsman Virat Kohli. No, Virat did not fight with anyone, rather he was batting, his wicket just slipped from Sri Lanka's hands and the umpire's decision became the reason for this.

In the second match of the series on Sunday, August 4 in Colombo, Sri Lanka batted first and set a target of 241 runs for India to win. In response, captain Rohit Sharma once again scored an explosive half-century and gave the team a quick start. However, Rohit could not convert his innings into a big score and got out. After his dismissal, Virat Kohli came to the crease, who could not do anything special in the first match.

Uproar over third umpire's decision

As soon as Kohli came, he hit two fours without taking much time and took the score forward. The controversy started after his second four. On the last ball of spinner Akila Dhananjaya's over, there was an LBW appeal against Kohli, which the umpire gave out. Kohli took a review against it and this is where the ruckus started. The replay showed that the ball was near Virat's bat and during this time there was some movement on the snickometer. That is, it seemed that the ball hit the pad after hitting the bat. In such a situation, the third umpire had no choice but to change this decision.

As soon as this decision was announced, the Sri Lankan players got angry and started arguing with the umpire. Wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis even took off his helmet and threw it on the ground. Captain Charith Aslanka also started questioning the umpire on the decision. Sri Lankan coach Sanath Jayasuriya came out of the dressing room and came on the field and started questioning the fourth umpire sitting near the boundary. Some Sri Lankan players also started asking Kohli questions, to which Kohli was seen laughing and saying something.

Why did the Sri Lankan players get angry?

Now the question is why did the Sri Lankan players get angry even after everything was clearly visible? Actually, what was visible in the replay was confusing. When the movement was seen on the snickometer, the ball was very close to Virat's bat, but the next moment when the ball was right next to the edge of his bat, there was no movement on the snickometer. The Sri Lankan players were raising questions about this that when there was no sound despite the ball being next to the bat, then why was the decision changed, but they had to accept this decision under compulsion.

However, Virat could not take advantage of this and the Sri Lankan players did not have to remain disappointed for long. Within a few balls, leg spinner Jeffrey Vandersay got Virat out LBW and this time Kohli also knew that he was out, so he decided to bring him back to the pavilion without taking a review. He got out after scoring just 19 runs. In the last innings, he was out LBW after scoring 23 runs.
