The boy can be seen cursing the third umpire in the viral video. According to Times of India, the boy angrily said in Tamil, “Third umpire will commit suicide for the wrong decision of the umpire on the ground.” In the video, the mother of the boy can also be heard saying that don’t cry as it could be a match-fixing.
