India head coach Gautam Gambhir couldn't control his anger after Arshdeep Singh bowled seven wides in an 13-ball over against South Africa in the second T20I in Mullanpur on Thursday. The incident took place on the 11th over where Arshdeep conceded 18 runs.

Send into bat first, South Africa were off to a blazing start with Quinton de Kock leading the way. Although South Africa lost Reeza Hendricks inside the powerplay, De Kock continued his business, smashing the Indian bowlers all around the park in new Chandigarh.

In search of wickets, India captain Suryakumar Yadav brought Arshdeep back into the attack after the 10th over. But the decision backfired with a settled De Kock at strike. The South Africa clobbered Arshdeep for a six off the first ball over the bowler's head.

Under pressure, Arshdeep two back-to-back wides in his next two deliveries. His second legal delivery turned out to be a dot ball, before bowling four consecutive wide balls, forcing Gambhir to give Arshdeep a mouthful from the dugout.

He bowled another wide in an over that went for 18 runs. In the process, Arshdeep equaled with Afghanistan's Naveen-ul-Haq for most wide balls in an over in T20Is among full member teams.
