Sri Lankan players clashed with the umpire..!?

The indian team suffered defeat in the second ODI match against the Sri Lankan team. With this, the Sri Lankan team now has a lead 1-0 in the three-match series. Thus, if the Sri Lankan team wins the last one-day match, it will create a record after 27 years by winning the one-day series against India. In this situation, India's star player virat kohli scored only 14 runs in the second ODI. At this stage, virat kohli scored 11 runs and was LBW by Akila Dhananjaya. The umpire who was on the field to ask the Sri Lankan players out also gave it out. But virat kohli did not accept this and sought the help of the third umpire.
Then it took a lot of time to check whether it was out or not using DRS. Then in the replay, it became clear that virat kohli had hit his leg only after the ball hit the bat. Thus the third umpire said it was not out and the field umpire should change his decision. After this, the on-field umpire changed the order to not out. The Sri Lankan players did not accept this at all and started arguing. Captain Asalanka raised the war flag to the umpire saying that virat kohli was out and how can you call this not out?The umpire then explained that the DRS technology was used to check whether the ball was batted or not and that there was evidence of the ball being batted on the Snico meter. However, the Sri Lankan players did not agree to this and expressed their frustration. Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis took his helmet and threw it a step further. It was a huge opportunity for Virat Kohli. But he did not take advantage of it and lost the game by 14 runs.
