Dinesh Karthik lost his cool after the match:
However, there was more drama in the thrilling contest. Tamil Nadu’s Dinesh Karthik was seen sharing some heated words with Karnataka’s captain Karun Nair. Karthik was not happy with Karnataka’s players’ repetitive appeals during the match. The situation between both the players got so bad that match officials with both the team's coaches (Yere Goud and S Aravind) had to intervene. The argument was happening outside the dressing room.
