Manjrekar, Murali Kartik body-shame each other during commentary, video goes viral

What began as a seemingly light-hearted remark quickly became uncomfortable as Kartik took aim at Manjrekar's mannerisms while speaking on air. A gentle request and a big request from one and all.

You have the pout of the century, but because of your pout, we are not able to understand what you say. Can we make the split screen and shift the camera to the other guy?

What Happened

Because he’s a much more pleasant person to talk to and he’s got a much more pleasant face as well. The exchange took place as India remained firmly in control of the Test.

• Manav Suthar and Ravindra Jadeja have been among India's key performers with the ball, while Rishabh Pant also created history by becoming the first Indian batter to hit 100 sixes in Test cricket.

• India therefore require six wickets on the final day to complete a win, although the weather could still play a role in determining the outcome.

• At stumps on Day 4, Sri Lanka were 84/4 after 34 overs and still needed 288 runs for victory.

Key Details

India then declared/finished their second innings on 193, setting Sri Lanka a daunting target of 372.

• India were bowled out for 462 in their first innings before Sri Lanka were dismissed for 284, giving the visitors a 178-run lead.
