Cricketers always try to give their best on the field and bowlers are particularly known for wearing their hearts on their sleeves. Deepak Chahar’s reaction to Mohammed Siraj making a fielding blunder on the ropes in the third T20I was a reminder of the same as he burst out with expletives.

It has been a run-fest in Indore in the third T20I on Tuesday between India and South Africa. The boundary dimensions at the Holkar Cricket Stadium are relatively small and the batters have been making full use of it, clearing the boundary ropes for fun. Riding on the back of a century by Rilee Rossouw, South Africa posted a mammoth total of 227/3. Miller also played a brilliant cameo in the end, scoring 19 runs from five balls, but he might have been dismissed earlier had Mohammed Siraj fielded better in the deep.

Deepak Chahar was bowling the final over of the innings under severe pressure with Miller on strike for the penultimate ball. He pulled a short ball towards square-leg and it was going straight down the throat of Mohammed Siraj.

The bowler was expected to complete a simple catch but somehow managed to make a mess of it. After grabbing the white rock easily, Siraj made a huge blunder by stepping on the boundary ropes with the ball in his hand. The incident meant a possible wicket had been converted into a maximum and the bowler Deepak Chahar was clearly disturbed by it. The 28-year-old burst out in anger towards the fielder, abusing him for wasting an easy wicket-taking opportunity.

Netizens took note of the incident and didn’t hesitate in expressing their reactions.

Deepak didn't hold back!

Proper abuse

Siraj didn't realise that he's about to touch the boundary, it was difficult too to control instantly at the moment, but Deepak Chahar abused him.🤢

it's easy to abuse & blame others to hide self's incompetency.#Siraj #deepakchahar #INDvsSAT20I pic.twitter.com/lYiGO77uvR
