Team India once again defeated Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. In the match played on February 15 in Colombo, India defeated Pakistan by 61 runs in a very one-sided manner and made it to the Super-8. Ishan Kishan and Jasprit Bumrah, who performed well in the match, grabbed a lot of discussion but apart from them, spinner Kuldeep Yadav also came into discussion. The reason for this was his conflict with Hardik Pandya and captain Suryakumar Yadav. A day after this confrontation, Surya and Kuldeep again clashed, the video of which went viral.

In this match played on Sunday at Premadasa Stadium, Team India had bowled out Pakistan for only 114 runs in 18 overs. After the match was over, when all the Indian players were shaking hands and celebrating the victory, an incident shocked everyone. Hardik Pandya was seen saying something angrily to Kuldeep Yadav. Disappointed by this, when Kuldeep moved forward towards Suryakumar, he did not shake hands with him properly. The captain also got angry at this and vented out his anger on Kuldeep.

Surya and Kuldeep collide again

The video of this incident went viral on social media, drawing different reactions. Many users raised questions as to why such behavior was done when the team won. But while cricket fans were expressing different types of guesses and apprehensions on the basis of this video, what was the atmosphere regarding this in Team India? This came to light the very next day, when Kuldeep and Surya's shoulders collided again.

What were Hardik and Surya angry about?

Let us come back to the incident after the match. Actually all this in the 18th over of Pakistan's innings. By this time Pakistan's defeat was certain and the last pair was at the crease. Shaheen Afridi played a high shot on Hardik Pandya's ball but Kuldeep was present there posted at the boundary. However, instead of taking an easy catch, Kuldeep dropped it and the ball went across the boundary for 6 runs. Hardik was angry at this even at that time. He ended Pakistan's innings on the last ball of this over itself, but Hardik was still angry over Kuldeep's mistake and hence he vented out his anger on Kuldeep to end the matter on the field itself.
