Indian batter Shreyas Iyer was seen yelling at the umpire after a close non-wide call in the fifth T20I between India and Australia. Playing in Bengaluru, the Men in Blue were invited to bat and got off to a shaky start after being reduced to 55-4 after 9.1 overs. But Iyer held one end up with some sensible batting on a tricky wicket.

The Mumbai native built crucial partnerships with the likes of Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma and Axar Patel as Team India posted a total of 160 runs in their 20 overs. Iyer, determined to keep the scoring rate high, was visibly upset on the last ball of the 17th over as the umpire didn't call a widish delivery by Ben Dwarshuis.
Check out the reaction here:
The Aussie seamer's ball seemingly hit on the wide line and hence the umpire didn't call it a wide. But Iyer was unhappy with the decision and hence shouted at the official. After this moment, the Kolkata Knight Riders star took the Aussie bowlers to the cleaners and posted an impressive 53 in 37 balls with five fours and two sixes.
