All-rounder Deepak Hooda developed a match-winning knock of 41 not out off 23 balls as India edged previous Sri Lanka by 2 runs in their very first T20I match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Hooda was adjudged the Player-of-the-match for his blistering knock which offered some respectability to the India overall after Hardik Pandya’s side had actually slipped to 94 for 5 at one phase. The match was not without its explosive minutes with Hooda losing his cool versus on-field umpire in the closing phases of India’s innings. The Lucknow Super Giants all-rounder was left disappointed on the 5th shipment of the 18th over when he left Kasun Rajitha’s shipment alone in hopes of getting a large called. The on-field umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan did not call it a broad as the batter had actually moved throughout his stumps. Hooda then lost his cool at this choice and was heard and seen abusing ‘behen ke l ***’, towards the umpire. He even got involved in an argument with the umpire after nicking a single of the really next shipment.
