On day four, Dhammika Prasad bowled a couple of bouncers which Ishant left alone and had a smile for the Lankan pacer. It was a nerve-snapping moment, it became hard on the eyes to see the spat between Ishant and the Sri Lankan players.

One may say he belongs to the old school of cricket but who wants to see such events tarnish the image of the gentleman’s game. In a report from NDTV, Gavaskar said, “These are some of the scenes that you don’t want to see. The kids are watching and international players are role models. This is just a sport, which should be enjoyed. You don’t want the parents to tell their kids that you should not play this sport.” [Also Read: Twitteraties troll MS Dhoni after India’s first Test series win under Virat Kohli]
