Why Suryakumar Yadav Shouted At Shivam Dube During 4th T20I Against Australia

Known for his affable personality, Suryakumar Yadav on Thursday lost his temper at India teammate Shivam Dube during the fourth T20I against Australia at the Carrara Oval in Queensland. Surya gave the all-rounder a piece of his mind after gifting a boundary to Marcus Stoinis. The incident occurred after the final delivery of the 12th over as Dube bowled a short delivery to Stoinis and allowed the new batter to free his arm as he swatted the ball away for a four over backward point. This broke a sequence of three fine deliveries from the medium pacer who had conceded a six off the second delivery to Tim David before removing the danger man off the next. Dube followed that with a couple of dot deliveries in what was a crucial phase of the contest where India had set Australia 168 to win. Surya was seen shouting at Dube while venting his frustration at the poor delivery. The over ended as Dube took an important wicket but also conceded 11 runs with Australia 95/4 in 12 overs and needing 73 runs to win off 48 balls. The hosts were eventually bowled out for 119 in 18.2 overs with Washington Sundar taking three wickets in eight deliveries while Axar Patel and Shivam Dube finishing with two wickets each. India won the contest by 48 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. With the opening match of the series being washed out due to rain, India now have an unbeatable lead going into the final match of their white-ball tour of Australia. “167 on this ground is definitely a good score because the quality bowling we have, the spinners, the fast bowlers…I trust them and the whole team trust our bowlers,” Dube told reporters after the match. “Definitely it’s a T20 game and any of the batter can come and smack but on this ground where the side boundaries are big, we had planned it very nicely and we had confidence that we can stop them,” he added. The fifth T20I will be played at The Gabba in Brisbane On Saturday.
