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.

Sri Lanka is currently hosting Bangladesh in a two-match Test series, with the first Test having begun earlier this week in Galle. Despite Day 2 being washed out due to rain, Bangladesh made a strong start in the first innings, piling up a formidable total of 495 runs. The batting lineup was anchored by Najmul Hossain Shanto, who scored a fluent 148, while senior players Mushfiqur Rahim (163) and Litton Das (90) offered vital contributions.
