Voh aise gaye hain na, jab laga ki bhai sher ghus gaya hai (We were in the dugout and were like ‘please don’t go, don’t go’. But he didn’t even turn around to look behind. The way he went out on the field, it felt like a lion has entered the ground.),” Mohit said.
“He had just got out and was already furious. He wanted to be in there because generally, he doesn’t leave it to others. He came, sat and all of a sudden, the incident happened. He asked, ‘Did he give it a no-ball?’ We were like, ‘Yeah, he did signal.’ Then he just didn’t stop,” he added.
