**Indore:** Indian batsman Sarfaraz Khan received a warning from the umpires during the third Test match against New Zealand at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. The incident occurred during the 32nd over of the match, with Sarfaraz being accused of disrupting the concentration of New Zealand batsmen Daryl Mitchell and Mitchell Santner.
According to reports, Sarfaraz, who was fielding at silly point, was constantly engaging in chatter with the batsmen, seemingly attempting to unsettle them. This prompted Mitchell to complain to the umpire.
Umpire Richard Illingworth spoke to both the Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Sarfaraz Khan, advising them to refrain from speaking while the ball was being delivered.
The incident highlights the importance of sportsmanship and decorum on the field. While competitive spirit is encouraged, it is crucial to ensure that the focus remains on the game itself, without resorting to tactics that disrupt the concentration of the opposing team.
