10 altercations between players of the same country

Harbhajan Singh and Ambati Rayudu

The latest incident took place during Mumbai Indians’ encounter against the Rising Pune Supergiants. Batting for Pune, Saurabh Tiwary pulled a delivery from Harbhajan Singh towards the midwicket fence. Rayudu, coming in from deep midwicket, put in a dive, and tried to scoop the ball towards a running Tim Southee. The ball however, made its way to the boundary.

Harbhajan was visibly annoyed by Rayudu for his effort. Rayudu, however, was in no mood to listen, and yelled back at his senior teammate. Both of them started speed-walking at each other. Harbhajan, seeing reason, put his arms over Rayudu and tried to calm him. Rayudu didn’t acknowledge the gesture, and still seething from the anger, pulled away.

Both of them calmed down and made peace by the end of the innings.
