A video of Rohit Sharma losing his cool during the second Twenty20 International (T20I) against Bangladesh over an error on the giant screen has been going viral on social media.
The incident took place in the 13th over of the match after Rishabh Pant stumped Soumya Sarkar off a delivery from Yuzvendra Chahal. The on-field umpires initially gave him out but later signalled for the third umpire Anil Chaudhary to check the stumping, with Soumya Sarkar waiting near the boundary line.

The giant screen displayed the decision ‘Not Out’, leaving stand-in captain Rohit Sharma infuriated. However, Soumya Sarkar was sent back to the dressing room as the fourth umpire conveyed the decision to the top-order batsman.
Soumya Sarkar was dismissed for 30 runs off 20 deliveries. His knock was laced with two boundaries and one hit over the fence. However, his efforts could not help Bangladesh register a series-clinching victory as India beat the visitors by eight wickets.
With the win, India levelled the T20I series at 1-1. The third and final match will be played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur Sunday.
