Chandigarh, July 20

There were some heart-warming moments in the first one-day international match played between India and Sri Lanka at the Premdasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday.

In the middle of the Sri Lankan innings, spinner Krunal Pandya bowled to Dhananjaya de Silva, who hit it straight and Pandya ran to field the ball. In the process, Pandya collided with Charith Asalanka, who was at the non-striker end.

Following this there was no acrimony and the two players hugged.

India won the match convincingly.

Some cricket fans on social media pointed out that perhaps Pandya showing sportsmanship was the effect of team coach Rahul Dravid. Others thought such things were common during a match and Dravid had nothing to do with it.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
