The incident happened during the 22nd over of the second New Zealand innings.
India skipper Rohit Sharma lost his cool and got angry at the spider cam on Day 2 of the ongoing IND vs NZ 3rd Test in Mumbai.
During the 22nd over of the second New Zealand innings, Ravichandran Ashwin trapped Kiwi batter Daryl Mitchell with an LBW appeal. Although the on-field decision was not out, Ashwin managed to convince Rohit for a DRS.
However, replays showed that the impact was outside and that the original decision was correct.
Soon after, when the camera panned towards Rohit to catch his reaction, he could be seen getting angry at the overhead spider cam and shooed it away with his hands.
Earlier in the day, the spider-cam stopped moving due to some technical malfunction, which forced the umpires to call for an early lunch. Check the video below.
Speaking about the match, the Indian team managed to take a slender lead of 28 runs after the end of their first innings, courtesy of Rishabh Pant’s quickfire 59-ball 60 and a crucial 90-run knock from Shubman Gill. For the Kiwis, Ajaz Patel finished with a fifer.
Coming out to bat in their second innings, the Blackcaps have shown good intent and already negated India’s lead. At the time of writing this report, the New Zealand scoreboard read 90 for 3 after 26 overs with Will Young and Daryl Mitchell at the crease, and a lead of 62 runs.
The Indian team have already lost the three-match contest, going down in the first two matches but will be eager to turn around their fortunes in a bid to avoid a whitewash.
A win will also play a big role in boosting momentum for the side ahead of their upcoming high-octane five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, slated to start later this month o n November 22.
