During the ongoing 3rd Test match between India and England, debutant Sarfaraz Khan found himself embroiled in an intense confrontation with his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The altercation unfolded when Khan, aiming to edge closer to a fifty-run mark, took a risky run following a misunderstanding with Jaiswal, who was on the verge of reaching 200 runs. This disagreement quickly escalated into a heated exchange of words, with Khan expressing his frustration by questioning Jaiswal’s on-field decision-making.
Both players, who have a shared background of playing first-class cricket in Mumbai, became involved in a passionate argument, with Khan reportedly remarking, “pagal hai kya, run tha” (Are you crazy, it was a run). This incident underscored the intensity of the moment and the pressure of the match scenario.
Amidst heightened tensions, the altercation served as a poignant reminder of the competitive nature and emotional dynamics inherent in cricket, even among teammates.
