Chepauk Super Gillies batter N Jagadeesan was livid and made an obscene finger gesture towards Baba Aparajith on Thursday against Nellai Royal Kings in the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2022.
Jagadeesan was run out by Aparajith for backing up too much at the non-striker’s end. The incident took place in the fourth over, during Chepauk Super Gillies’ chase. Aparajith was in his run-up when Jagadeeshan casually stroll out of his crease. He saw and flicked off the bails, with the non-striker well short of the crease.
Even though the dismissal was well within the rules, Jagadeesan was angry with the bowler. He made an obscene finger gesture while walking back to the pavilion. Interestingly, Aparajith had previously stopped in his bowling strides, hinting a warning to the non-striker.

N Jagadeesan is run out at the non-striker's end for leaving the crease early. High time this mode of dismissal is normalised. #TNPL2022

N Jagadeesan showing the middle finger for a legitimate form of dismissal. Absolute shame.#TNPL2022

Don't really understand why Kaushik Gandhi is asked about Jagadeesan's dismissal. Opinions can't be divided there. And equally poor from KG to say, run-out at bowler's end won't happen under his captaincy. Will he say about any other dismissal? He should be abiding rules.
