"My deepest apologies to all of you for my inexcusable behaviour at yesterday's match," he wrote. "Cricket has always been what I live for - and the sportsmanship that comes along with the sport is something I deeply respect. Which is why it is very hard for me to digest how I reacted.

"Passion is always key in any sport - but controlling and channelising it the right way is more important. And that is something I failed at doing when I let my temper get the better of me.

"No excuses for what has been done. I will do better and be better. With regret, Jagadeesan."

Jagadeesan was given run out as per law 41.16.1, which states: "If the non-striker is out of his/her ground at any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be Run out."

The match was tied, and Jagadeesan's team eventually lost in the Super Over.
