In the ongoing Tamil Nadu Cricket Association Division 1, veteran cricketer Baba Aparajith was dissatisfied after the on-field umpire called him out. Notably, the occurrence happened in the match between Jolly Rovers CC and Young Stars Cricket Club‘s 18th over. When Baba Aparajith attempted to block a delivery from Hari Nishaanth, the ball turned square and struck his pad while the fielder at short leg dove straight to capture it.
The fielding team promptly protested, and as the umpire became persuaded, he eventually raised his finger to signal out. At that point, the cricketer lost his composure and started arguing with the umpire and members of the other team. Replays revealed that when the ball struck his pads, it was traveling outside his leg and had not impacted his bat. As a result, Aparajith was incredibly upset with the choice and engaged in a lengthy conversation with the umpire before deciding to return to the changing room.
