Indian national cricket team captain Suryakumar Yadav lost his cool in the ongoing first T20I against South Africa national cricket team. The opening match of the four-match series between the teams was played at Durban’s Kingsmead.
It all started with the argument between Sanju Samson and Marco Jansen after the second ball of the 15th over. Ravi Bishnoi bowled a full delivery outside off, to which Gerald Coetzee stepped forward to drive hard and fired the shot straight to long-on, who returned the ball to the keeper.
Sanju Samson collected the shot from deep in the field and this did not go well for Marco Jansen. The Proteas star didn’t like it and was seen talking to the Indian National Cricket Team’s wicketkeeper-batsman, who also didn’t make it easy for her when the duo got into an argument.
India captain Suryakumar Yadav, who was on the field, came to support his teammate. He was seen chatting with Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee. The right-hander was not happy and was seen exchanging harsh words with the Proteas stars.

Marco Jansen, after that incident with Suryakumar Yadav, could not continue because he was back in the cabin. The all-rounder finished with 12 8-ball innings when he was dismissed by Ravi Bishnoi.
India records 202 runs on the board
Coming into the match, India started the four-match series on a high by defeating South Africa by 61 runs at Kingsmead, Durban. When asked to bat, they couldn’t get off to a great start as they lost Abhishek Sharma (7) early.
But the duo of Sanju Samson (107) and Suryakumar Yadav (21) made sure to make up for the loss of Abhishek. The duo of Sanju and Suryakumar Yadav added 66 runs for the second wicket and got some quick runs.
After the captain returned to the cabin, Tilak Varma (33) supported Samson well as they stitched 77 runs for the third wicket. The wicketkeeper-batsman hit his second consecutive ton in T20Is, having struck first in the third T20I against Bangladesh, and his knock propelled India to 202/8.

South Africa did not look very good with the bat from the beginning as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Ryan Rickelton (21) looked good but couldn’t continue. Heinrich Klaasen (25) also had an outing but could not take his team home as the Indian spinners picked wickets quickly in the middle.
Gerald Coetzee (23) landed some blows at the end but it was not enough as India bowled out South Africa for 141 to win the game by 61 runs. Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi picked three wickets each, while Avesh Khan bagged two scalps and Arshdeep Singh was also among the wickets.
