Mumbai Indians (MI) captain Rohit Sharma took strong exception to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bowler Shardul Thakur's animated sending-off of Quinton de Kock during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 final at Hyderabad on Sunday.
Thakur dismissed the left-handed opener in the fifth over with a well-directed bouncer, with CSK captain MS Dhoni taking the catch.
It was followed by a not so good looking send-off, with the pacer using his finger to show the way out to de Kock. The act left Rohit, who was at the non-striker's end, enraged and show his disapproval.
Amid the tense situation, umpire Ian Gould approached the bowler and told him to cool down.
