Wicket-keeper batter N Jagadeesan apologized after he responded with an indecent gesture after his dismissal in the opening game of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) on Thursday. Jagadeesan was limped by Baba Aparajith during the match between Nellai Royal Kings and Chepauk Super Gillies and walking back angrily turned to show his middle finger in the direction of the bowler. Then he repeated the gesture one more time. On Friday, he took to Twitter to apologize for his behavior.

“My deepest apologies to all of you for my unforgivable behavior during yesterday’s game,” he wrote in his statement.
“Cricket has always been what I live for – and the sportsmanship that comes with the sport is something I deeply respect. That’s why it’s very difficult for me to process how I reacted,” he added.
“Passion is always the key word in any sport, but it’s more important to master and channel it in the right way. And that’s something I failed to do when I let my mood take over,” he wrote.
“No apologies for what has been done. I will do better and get better. With regret, Jagadeesan,” signed the Chepauk Super Gillies opener.
The incident happened in the fourth over of the Super Ghillies chase.
