Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan says he had an on-field dispute with Sri Lanka batter Kumar Sangakkara during a Test match in 2005. Pathan recounts that the disagreement escalated into personal comments during play.
According to Pathan’s account as reported by NDTV, the spat involved allegations of cheating made by Sangakkara, with Pathan describing the exchange as “you guys cheat.” The reports focus on Pathan’s retrospective revelation rather than any contemporaneous match report, and they do not provide additional details such as the specific match, venue, or the full sequence of events.
Across the two NDTV entries provided, the core details are the same: Pathan identifies the opponent as Sangakkara and places the incident in 2005 during a Test. Both accounts present the story as a surprise or notable moment remembered by Pathan, without citing further confirmation from other parties in the text provided.
