What Happened?
The root cause for the major uproar was the a no-ball controversy that got the crowd entirely riled up. The incident took place in the 19th over when Avesh Khan bowled a full toss delivery to Abdul Samad. The on field umpire took no time to label it as a no-ball. But the visitors immediately reviewed decision. The third umpire then reversed the decision to rule it as a legit delivery.
