India vs Sri Lanka: In the 2nd T20I match between India & Sri Lanka, the tourists have set a target of 184 against the hosts. Lankans thrashed the Indian bowlers in the death overs as they smashed 72 runs in the last 4 overs. Amidst all the attention-grabbing moments in the match, an act of humor by two benched Indian players didn't fail to entertain the spectators. 

Indian bowlers Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammad Siraj, who aren't part of the playing XI in this match and yet a video of these two has surfaced which is being liked by the netizens. These two made it to the eyes of the internet as they were caught on camera while imitating the umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal and the video of the same has gone viral.

This incident happened on the 5th delivery of the 10th over, where Charith Asalanka was adjudged LBW out. The batter went for the review and ultimately the third umpire also adjudged the Lankan out. However, when the onfield umpire Jayaraman Madanagopal was asked to stay with his decision and signal 'out' at the very moment Mohammad Siraj and Kuldeep were running behind the umpire with the drinks for their teammates.

Both of them raised their fingers while they were crossing behind the umpire. First Siraj raised his finger with the umpire while Kuldeep also followed the pacer with his finger raised. However, Kuldeep was nudged by mistake by the umpire's elbow. However, fortunately, the nudge wasn't very heavy and Kuldeep managed to stay on his feet.
