Because players suppress their rage when they on the field, cricket is characterized as a gentleman’s game. Ripon Mondal and Tshepto Ntuli, two players from opposing teams, engaged into a heated argument during a recent match between South Africa and Bangladesh. Notably, when the Bangladeshi player struck Ntuli for a six, the two got into a violent brawl. What happened next was that Ripon looked at the bowler as the latter lunged at him.
According to the footage, the two players not only exchanged insults but also pushed into one another. It was unexpected that both players persisted in their altercation despite the umpires’ intervention. “This is inappropriate and excessive. A brawl is uncommon on a cricket pitch; instead, we often see verbal altercations. According to ESPN Cricinfo, one of the on-air pundits said, “Ntuli struck Ripon’s helmet at one point.”
The SA Emerging vs. Bangladesh Emerging match today descended into chaos between Tshepo Ntuli and Ripon Mondol, forcing the umpires to step in.
Ntuli recovered a fended-off delivery three balls after the first incident and flung it back at Ripon, who was able to get his bat in the way in time to save himself.
These bodies are expected to take further action on the issue. This is not the only instance in the series; previously in the one-day leg, Jishan Alam and Andile Simelane were both given game suspensions for disciplinary infractions.
South Africa lost the one-day series versus Bangladesh 2-1, according to the series outcomes so far. The two teams’ first four-day match ended in a tie.
