SL Vs Ban: Fan With Cobras And Monkey In Attendance Takes ‘Naagin Derby’ To An Extreme Level

By IANS News June 21, 2025 • 20:51 PM View: 932

Fans and players alike at the Galle International Stadium were treated to a sight unlike anything hitherto seen in a cricket match. Amongst the spectators, one particular fan caught the eye of the television cameraman. A snake charmer was enjoying the proceedings on the final day of the first Test with two cobras and a monkey grasping the cricketing action alongside him.

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are two cricketing rivals with their games being given the unofficial tag of ‘Naagin (Cobra) Derby’, but the players surely must not have expected to take it to this extreme level.
