Yuvraj shows middle finger to jeering Lankan fans

[Show_stopper]

Three youngsters, aged between 24 and 25, were detained by the police for allegedly heckling Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh here on Tuesday. Yuvraj, who did not figure in the Indian XI, was carrying drinks to the cricketers during a break on the first day of the third Test when the youngsters, seated close to the pavilion, allegedly taunted the player by calling him "Waterboy." Yuvraj subsequently complained to the Indian team management. Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal said the team would take up the issue with the local authorities. He said "The crowd was trying to misbehave with the player in question. The police was asked to intervene and the situation was brought under control. Yuvraj was not at fault, he did not try to provoke the crowd at all. I was sitting next to Yuvraj when this happened and I can tell you they were trying to provoke the player." Mr. Biswal added, "It’s a basic human tendency to react to situations when you are being repeatedly provoked but Yuvraj was quite restrained. The police have taken the spectators out and we will definitely lodge a complaint with the police." There have also been allegations that Yuvraj pointed a finger at the youngsters in question.

Yuvraj shows middle finger to jeering Lankan fans COLOMBO: Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh, who was left out of the playing eleven, on Tuesday lost his cool and showed his middle finger at the Sri Lankan fans who jeered him with "water boy" chants during the third Test. The incident happened during the opening day of the final Test when 12th man Yuvraj entered the ground and made his way towards his teammates with water bottles and some drinks in hand. But soon a section of the spectators started booing by calling him "water boy". An enraged Yuvraj then raised his middle finger towards the booing fans. Taking note of the incident, Team India manager Ranjib Biswal said they are planning to file a police complaint against the fans who jeered Yuvraj. "We are mulling to lodge a police complain against the fans who had tried to jeer Yuvraj when he had come out to provide drinks during the match," he said. Yuvraj, who missed the second Test due to illness, failed to make it to the playing eleven in the final match also. Sri Lanka were at 293 for 4 at the draw of stumps on the first day of the final Test at P Sara Oval here. India are 0-1 down in the three-match series, having lost the first match and drawn the second.

A police complaint against jeering fans!?!?! That must be a joke.

Absolutely! The crime they committed? called the 12th man as "water boy" :hysterical:

[Serani]

I wonder what laws calling someone a water boy breaks.

[Andy]

:hysterical: Must be Joking.

yuvraj :hysterical: The sri lankan fans have a nice sense of humour and yuvraj is being an idiot. Water boy ? lol. he has probably heard much worse in india.

[Serani]

"water boy" seems a very accurate description of the job Yuvraj is currently carrying out.

[VRV Singh]

I do not see why a police investigation is necessary for a statement of fact

[Rajiv]

Hmm, seems like Lankans are getting some oompph under their belly in our sedated mood.

[coffee_rules]

Ek match kya jeet liya, Sanga and the woman are whining about India's #1 status and SL fans think they are Australians! F 'in midgets..

[Clarke]

Sher e Punjab needs to calm down and let the bat do the talking in the tri series.

[yoda]

Good response by Yuvraj, can't expect one to not react when abused verbally. Now this police complaint thing sounds a little comical for a fan jeer.

[Sachinism]

No disciplining for Yuvraj

[b555]

:blink: so much has been happening around the cricketing world

[Clayton Bigsby]

What a clown. By reacting, he's shown weakness that he can be got at. I would report him to the Police for his lack of fitness, shockng attitude and an ego the size of China

[The Realist]

Being called a water boy and then reacting in such a manner just highlights that Dhoni's friend is mentally weak. What's he going to do when he plays in Aus? Oh but he did, and cracked like a dropped egg, remember the whole team was altered just to accomodate him. Probably one of the weakest and most gutless batting displays I have ever seen. The sooner this pygmie of an international cricketer is pensioned off the better.

[Serani]

Surely raising the middle finger is worthy of these lankan fans filling a report with the police?

[The Realist]

Footballers get fined and suspended if they did anything similar. Dhoni would cough up anyway on behalf of his friend if that happened.
