The 3rd delivery was an overhead bouncer and Yadav was quite sure about umpires calling it wide and also gestured it with his hands. However, to his surprise, the leg umpire called it a bouncer and not a wide. The MI batsman was visibly disheartened over the umpire’s call. Here is the video of teh incident:
