Parag ended the over with a six over cow corner, making it 18 runs off it. The RR batter thus ended the innings unbeaten on 56 off 31 balls and seemed to be walking off the field at first. However, he then turned around and started having talking heatedly with Harshal Patel, who was held back by a member of the RR support staff.
The subject of the argument was not clear as the host broadcasters cut the feed to advertisements almost as soon as images of the exchange surfaced. However, the feed continued for a few seconds more in the Hindi broadcast. Some words were also exchanged between a few players of both the teams as they left the ground.
