Team India suffered their second defeat against England in the on-going five-match T20I series at Ahmedabad on Tuesday (March 16) to allow the visitors grab a 2-1 lead. 

Earlier, England skipper Eoin Morgan won the toss and invited India to bat first. The hosts failed to read the pace of the pitch properly and managed to score just 156 runs in their allotted quota of 20 overs. For India, skipper Virat Kohli led from the front and played a superb knock to score his 27th fifty in the T20I format. Kohli remained unbeaten on 77 off 46 balls and it was largely due to Kohli's superb show with the bat that India managed to set a target of 156 runs.

In response, England batsman looked at ease and opner Jos Buttler scored a quickfire 83 runs to help the visitors register a 8-wciket win in 18.2 overs.

But one thing which left Indian fans surprised was poor fielding efforts by Indian players during the third T20 international at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

When the 11th over of the match was in progress, skipper Kohli got angry over a poor fielding effort by fast bowler Shardul Thakur and Kohli did not mind expressing his anger at Thakur. 

Kohli's angry reaction grabbed the attention of several people with many taking to Twitter to express their views.

It is to be noted that Kohli is a very good fielder and he always gets angry when he see the laziness of other players in the field.
