Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and South African all-rounder Marco Jansen were caught in a heated exchange during the first T20I of the series in Durban. Suryakumar is usually a person who is known to be calm and composed during most of the situations. However, he was seen jumping in the defence of his teammate Sanju Samson when Marco had something to say to him.
This incident happened in the 15th over of the inning. After the second ball was bowled, Sanju caught the throw when he was on the pitch. Marco was not happy with him damaging the right side of the pitch with his boots. Soon after, Suryakumar came in to interfere and had a verbal exchange with Jansen. Geraldn Coetzee, who was on the non-striker side, interfered as well.
