The Story in Brief
Irfan Pathan has recalled a heated exchange with Kumar Sangakkara during a Test match in Delhi in 2005. The Sri Lankan team was unhappy after umpires replaced the ball during their innings. Sangakkara, the most vocal, accused India of cheating and questioned their upbringing when Pathan came out to bat.
Pathan, who scored 93 opening the innings, said he retaliated. He added that both players apologised when they became teammates at Kings XI Punjab in the first IPL season in 2008.
The Indian Opinion
A decade-old sledging story reminds us that on-field heat rarely survives the final whistle. Both men apologised and played together later. The real test is how quickly players move on, not who shouted louder.
