NEW DELHI: India skipper Suryakumar Yadav and Proteas quick Marco Jansen got involved in a heated exchange of words during the T20I series opener in Durban on Friday.
An unhappy Surya was seen having a chat with batters Jansen and Gerald Coetzee during South Africa's chase after Jansen objected to keeper Sanju Samson collecting a throw on the pitch.
The incident took place during the 15th over from Ravi Bishnoi when Samson collected the throw from the deep right on the pitch. As Jansen does not like how the ball was collected, he had a word with Samson. The India skipper then intervened and was seen having an animated chat with the Proteas batters.
The on-field umpire then rushed in and separated the players from both the teams.
On his way back, Surya was seen having a word with Coetzee as well.
Later in the over, Bishnoi dismissed Jansen for 12 on the last ball.
Riding on a sizzling ton from Samson (50-ball 107) and solid performances from spinners Varun Chakaravarthy and Bishnoi, India thrashed South Africa in the opener by 61 runs.
With the win, India maintained their unbeaten run in T20Is at Kingsmead, Durban.
The victory also gave India a 1-0 lead in the 4-match series.
