India and South Africa are locking horns in their third match of the 20-20 World Cup at Perth. The Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat first on the fast bouncy pitch at the Perth Stadium. The decision to bat first by the captain backfired as India got off to a miserable start losing five wickets for 49 runs in the ninth over itself. However, a video from the Indian innings has been going viral where Yuzvendra Chahal is seen funnily beating the umpire Richard Kettleborough.
The incident took place in the third over of the Indian innings. KL Rahul was facing Wayne Parnell as he got hit severely on his body on the fifth ball of the innings. Seeing him on the ground, the Indian physio came rushing into the ground. Indian players Rishabh Pant and Yuzvendra Chahal also came carrying drinks.
As the physio paid attention to KL Rahul, Yuzvendra Chahal was seen doing some fun antics with the on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough. He threw some knee kicks and punches in the crotch region as Kettleborough was seen hilariously evading it.

Meanwhile, India could only score 133/9 in the first innings courtesy of a brilliant knock by Suryakumar Yadav of 68 from 40 balls. No other batter apart from him could reach the 20-run-mark as Lungi Ngidi picked up 4 wickets for 29 runs in his four overs. Wayne Parnell also picked up 3 wickets for just 15 runs in his four overs.
Defending a low total, Indian bowlers looked in fine form as they constantly built the pressure right from ball one. Arshdeep Singh gave a double blow to the Proteas as he removed Quinton De Kock and dangerous Rilee Rossouw in a space of three balls during the second over of the innings. Mohammad Shami struck the third blow dismissing the South African captain Temba Bavuma at the score of 24.
South Africa were seen struggling as they required 94 runs in the last 10 overs with David Miller and Aiden Markram unbeaten at the crease.
