At the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo on Sunday, during the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka. Virat Kohli was caught by an Akila Dhananjay delivery on the last ball of 15th over, just in front of the stumps. The umpire also raised his fingers in response to the Sri Lankan player's LBW appeal. After speaking with Subhman Gill, non-striker, Kohli headed upstairs.



A review placed the third umpire in a difficult situation. This is because although the images demonstrated that there was good distance between the Bat and the Ball at that moment, the extreme edge displayed a spike as the ball crossed Kohli's bat before reaching his pad. The decission by the Third umpire to decide in favour of Kohli infuriated thr Sri lankan fielders as well their head coach, Sanath Jayasuriya. In a fit of rage, Sri lankan wicket-keeper Kusal Mendis flug his helmet on the ground.



Sri lanka defeated  India by 32 runs in the second ODI in colombo on sunday. Spinner Jeffrey Vandersay also the man of the match with 6/33 statistics. He said, a great deal of pressure was applied to the side. it's easy for me to claim credit when I do work. I also want to give credit to the batsmans, they scored 240 runs, which enabled me to bowl well in some spots.
