Irfan Pathan Recalls Sangakkara's Fiery Sledge in Delhi Test

Irfan Pathan Recalls Sangakkara's Fiery Sledge in Delhi Test

Sometimes cricket players say mean things to each other during a game to try to distract them; this is called sledging.

Irfan Pathan is a famous cricket player from India.

On a show called 'Cheeky Singles', he told a story about a Test match in Delhi.

In that match, he opened the batting and scored 93 runs.

Later, something happened with the box of balls, and the Sri Lankan players were upset.

Kumar Sangakkara, a Sri Lankan player, was the one complaining the most.

When Pathan came to bat again, he hit Muttiah Muralitharan for two big sixes.

Sangakkara then said angry things, claiming Pathan's team cheats and that their parents taught them that.

Pathan said he answered back, and that Sangakkara was the one who started the argument.
