Watch: Commentator In Splits As Aaron Finch Is Caught Abusing After Being Beaten By An Andre Russell Delivery

With no fans in the stadium, the players need to be mindful of what comes out of their mouth especially when they are close to stumps and Aaron Finch must have realised it after what happened during the clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore opener was heard making abusive comment while batting. His abusive words were picked up by the stump microphone and broadcast live on television, leaving the commentator in splits.

The incident took place in the sixth over of RCB’s innings bowled by Andre Russell. The Australia opener could not control his words after failing to make contact with a slower short ball from the KKR allrounder and was heard saying: “Oh, you bas*ard”. The commentator was in split as he hoped that the fans did not hear the comment.

The comment from Aaron Finch was not directed at Russell or any other player as he had just expressed his frustration over missing the delivery. On the very next delivery, Aaron Finch was hit on his helmet when Russell bowled a faster short ball. The right-handed batsman was eventually dismissed for 47 off 37 balls.
