During a post match analysis on a TV channel, Team India’s former swashbuckling opener Virender Sehwag has asked ICC to take stern action the Sri Lanka players for their behaviour on field and for disrupting the ongoing match.
“ICC must look after this happening, which took place at Feroz Shah Kotla today, and should take action against Sri Lanka players” he said on India TV.
During to bad air quality, Play was halted for 17 minutes after lunch as the visiting players, led by skipper Dinesh Chandimal, wanted to leave the field of play complaining of severe pollution. The Lankans were seen wearing anti-pollution masks during the post-lunch session.
The play was halted between 12:32 pm to 12:49 pm after which the umpires and match referee David Boon convinced them to continue. However, there was another stoppage of play in the 127th over when Lakmal walked off the field after bowling the fifth ball.
The umpires once again got together, chatting with Chandimal and Angelo Mathews. Sri Lanka manager Asanka Gurusinha and India coach Ravi Shastri also joined in.
