In an unusual sight, a snake charmer was spotted among the spectators on Saturday during the ongoing Sri Lanka-Bangladesh Test at the Galle International Stadium.
The man was seen seated calmly on the ground with not one, but two snakes, seemingly unbothered by the crowd or the intensity of the match. Holding one of the reptiles casually in his hand, the snake charmer became an unexpected highlight of Day 5’s action-packed scenes in Galle. To add to the spectacle, a monkey also made an appearance in the same frame, turning the Test match into an oddly memorable episode of real-time wildlife meets red-ball cricket.
