Murali Vijay made his return to competitive cricket after a long break and has been doing good in the ongoing sixth season of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL 2022) that has reached its knockout stage.

In the last group match, Madurai Panthers defeated Ruby Trichy Warriors by 36 runs.

However, Vijay was involved in an incident with a fan after being continuously taunted with Dinesh Karthik chants by the crowd as he fielded at the boundary. He came on as a substitute fielder in the last match and was stationed at the boundary ropes. A section of the fans was teasing him with Dinesh Karthik’s name.

The two cricketers who have been teammates in the Indian team and Tamil Nadu state team, have no love lost between them after Murali’s affair with Karthik’s first wife.

In videos going viral on social media, Vijay can be first seen asking the fans to chill down with the chants. However, when the fans decided to intensify the chanting, Vijay got into a physical fight with one of the spectators. However, they were soon separated by other cricket fanatics.

Here are the videos:  

Notably, Vijay returned to competitive cricket after 21 months as he refused to take the vaccine for COVID-19.
