The India A team touring South Africa to play against their A team in a three-match unofficial test series. The first test is underway at the Manguang Oval in Bloemfontein, with South Africa A batting first.
The Proteas side dominated the proceedings putting on a mammoth 509 on the board. However, one event from the ongoing match caught everyone’s attention. India A’s spinner Rahul Chahar lost his temper and was seen arguing with the umpires. He threw his sunglasses down in agitation after being denied a wicket by the umpire.
The leg-spinner had a forgettable day, as he concede 125 runs at an economy rate of 4.4 with just one wicket to his name. Rahul Chahar’s video got viral on social media. The incident took place during the 128th over of the game when Chahar was bowling to Sinethemba Qeshile. The spinner appealed with all his enthusiasm, as the ball hit Qeshile’s pads. However, the umpire turned down his appeal.
