VIDEO | Gautam Gambhir loses cool after given out in Ranji Trophy

Seeing both the openers doing well against the pacers, Himachal captain Prashant Chopra introduced slow left-armer Mayank Dagar into the bowling attack. In the 17th over, Dagar came in from over the wicket in his fifth over with the left-hander on strike with a fielder at short leg in place. He tossed it up and the ball popped up in the air for Priyanshu Khanduri, who was fielding at forward short leg, and it was a simple catch for him and he made no mistake. Umpire had no hesitation in mind and straightaway adjudged Gambhir out.

Gambhir, however, looked baffled by the umpire's decision and gave the umpire, standing at the bowling end, a good long stare.  Following that, he turned to the umpire and had a few select words for him before adding something in it for himself as well. The replays showed that there was a broad daylight between bat and pad but luckily for Himachal, Dagar had provided the much-needed breakthrough by sending a dangerous looking Gambhir back.
