Ravi Shastri walking into the field during the game was what hogged the limelight after of course the Delhi smog intervened and played spoilsport for 17 long minutes. What it did was, break Virat Kohli’s concentration. Virat Kohli could only add 3 runs after play resumed after the smog halt and soon we saw an angry Ravi Shastri enter the field to have a word with the on-field umpires.

So, here is how it started:
Sri Lankan player, an hour after lunch started donning masks to negate the smog that was prevalent. Dinesh Chandimal and a few others complained to the umpires of eye irritation. They stretched it too far and that is what compelled Ravi Shastri to step into the field. It was clearly visible that the guests are meaningly trying to waste the time and break the concentration of the Indian batsmen.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Ravi Shastri stepping on the field. Some of the tweets are super HILARIOUS!
What right does @RaviShastriOfc have to step on to the field like that.#rude #arrogant #IndvSL

Ravi Shastri is the correct Choice to speak on behalf of team!!!,because he was the manager when India played in more hazy conditions.

“Play must go on, conditions are safe.” I think that’s what Ravi Shastri told the umpires. Coz he knows what the Doctors order._#INDvSL pic.twitter.com/X15saZwrIf

RAVI SHASTRI: Can’t you dumb idiots get all those who are causing delays out of the field?
UMPIRE: But sir, even you are doing the same!!#INDvSL Sri Lankan out cold_ pic.twitter.com/oy2kOBjtaY— Kiran A (@ashkir2001) December 3, 2017
Ravi Shastri looks like he’s going to beat someone up.

More trouble. Sri Lanka don’t have a seamer left with Gamage and Lakmal both going off. Manager out. Ravi Shastri out (and he isn’t the manager!). Not good

Can Ravi Shastri even go out to the field when the play is in progress?

Ravi Shastri came and told the umpires animatedly, “Agar khel ruka toh abse fokat ki daaru pi lena fir.” That scared the hell out of the umpires, they are starting the play now.
