Former India cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar and Murali Kartik have an on-air spat during Day 3 of the first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Galle. The disagreement unfolds during their broadcast banter, which turns tense enough to draw attention from viewers.
Both reports describe an awkward exchange, with one cricketer mocking Manjrekar on air and Manjrekar replying in kind. NDTV frames the moment as a public back-and-forth that escalates from routine commentary into a sharper confrontation. While the accounts focus on the same incident, the emphasis differs: one highlights Manjrekar’s reaction and the “Can We cut?” line as his response to the awkwardness, while another spotlights the mocking comment and the immediate reply.
The reports do not provide further details on any rules breach or official broadcaster intervention, but they agree the incident occurs during the live broadcast at the Test venue and involves both former players.
