‘I see that as being unprofessional’: Manjrekar on Sri Lanka’s approach at fag end of Day 2

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his disapproval of Sri Lanka's approach during the second day of their Test match against India. After India declared their first innings at 503 for 9, the light conditions became an issue, causing the umpires to stop play due to low light caused by clouds. Despite the persistent dissent from Kamil Mishara and Prabath Jayasuriya, the Sri Lankan players were criticized by Manjrekar for their lack of focus.

He deemed their behavior "slightly unprofessional" and questioned their ability to concentrate on the game, stating that the light conditions were not so poor that it impeded their ability to see the ball.
