India and Sri Lanka clashed in the second T20I of the three-match series in the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Stadium (HPCA) in Dharamsala on February 26, 2022.

India leads the series 1-0 after winning the first match on February 24 in Lucknow and the final T20I will be played tomorrow February 27 in Dharamsala itself.

Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to field first with India going into the match with an unchanged XI. Meanwhile, Dasun Shanaka revealed that Sri Lanka made two changes bringing in Binura Fernando and Danushka Gunathilaka.

After a decent 67-run opening stand between Pathum Nissanka and Danushka Gunathilaka, Sri Lanka lost their way as Gunathilaka fell for 38 runs, dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja. Charith Asalanka and Kamil Mishara followed him soon for 2 and 1 each, with Chahal getting rid of Asalanka and Mishara falling to Harshal Patel.

Something funny was noticed as Asalanka was given out after a delay, as the batter had taken a DRS review in hopes of getting the on-field decision of LBW turned around. In the meantime, short drinks break happened as Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav brought on drinks for the Indian players.

When the decision on-screen came on and umpire J Madangopal was going to show the finger, a viral video on social media, caught both Siraj and Kuldeep running behind the umpire and showing the signal for out as they ran past him.

Here is the video:
