WATCH: Furious Deepak Hooda abuses umpire during 1st T20I against Sri Lanka

India all-rounder Deepak Hooda was on Tuesday (January 3) caught on camera abusing the on-field umpire after being denied a wide during the first T20I match against Sri Lanka at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.

Hardik Pandya-led Team India won the match by 2 runs to grab a 1-0 lead in three-match series. Hooda, 27, walked in to bat at No.6 in the 11^th over after the dismissal of opening batsman Ishan Kishan.

The incident happened in the 18^th over when Sri Lanka bowler Kasun Rajitha delivered a slower ball outside off-stump. Hooda initially walked outside off to play the ball but he then decided to let it pass thinking that on-field umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan would declare it a wide.

But the umpire did not signal a wide which left Hooda furious and he vented his anger by abusing the umpire.
