WATCH:Fiery clash between Rahul Chahar and Wanindu Hasaranga on the ground; See Highlights with PICS

Sri Lanka pulled level with India in their three-match T20I series on Wednesday, July 28. The Islanders( Sri Lanka) won the second T20I by four wickets at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. In the penultimate game, apart from some jaw-dropping action on the field, fiery clash between India's Rahul Chahar and Sri Lanka's Wanindu Hasaranga also drew attention.

Chahar dismissed Hasaranga with the last ball of the 15th over to reduce the hosts to 94/5, with Lanka needing 39 runs off 30 balls. Hasaranga attempted to play the ball through the off-side after the Indian spinner churned off a wide loopy leg-break. The batter, on the other hand, was only able to get a thickish exterior edge. Standing at point, Bhuvneshwar Kumar made a straightforward catch.

Chahar became furious and screamed giving rough expressions at Hasaranga after that. But the latter remained composed and preserved the spirit of the game. Hasaranga tapped his bat and cheered Chahar's reaction as he returned to the pavilion. See video here.

While many said that this is called sportsmanship and praise the calmness reaction of Hasaranga given to Chahar, some fans are angry with the Chahar furious reaction over taking the wicket.

Earlier, Bhuvneshwar got Avishka Fernando caught by Rahul Chahar. Rahul, who was fielding on the boundary, dived to catch this catch, but he lost his balance and he went outside the boundary line. During this, he took the catch by throwing the ball inside the boundary and diving again. The umpires were also surprised to see this catch.

Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka's captain, praised Dhananjaya de Silva and Hasaranga for keeping the innings together after the team's victory with two balls to spare. Despite Hasaranga's 15 runs, De Silva remained unbeaten with a match-winning 40 off 34 balls, including one four and one six.
