Sharma lets go at Dhammika during Test Match (photos)
Two players engaged in an exchange of words creating an unpleasant scene in the middle of the
pitch was observed during the Sri Lanka -- India Test Match played today at S.S.C. Grounds in Colombo today.This incident took place when Ishant Sharma was operating as the 11th batsman in the Indian second innings and when Sri Lankan player Dhammika Prasad was bowling in the 77th over of the innings. Dhammika had been delivering bouncers in that over continuously and Sharma faced the first second bouncers with a smile on his face while on the third bouncer Sharma had approached Dhammika and had reprimanded him. Incidentally when the third bouncer-ball got entangled around his face area he approached Dhammika with some temper and proceeded to exchange harsh words at him.
On this occasion Dinesh Chandimal too happened to come there and had patched up things while the judges settled the situation and ordered that the game resume. It later came to be known that Sharma was imposed a fine because of this anti-disciplinary behaviour.
Sharma had displayed a similar anti-disciplinary type of behaviour in the first innings of Sri Lanka in this match at a time Rangana Herath was batting and on that particular situation he had got involved in a controversy with Rangana.
