Pacer Ashish Nehra and Zaheer Khan apparently lost their cool and got into a confrontation with the fans and Yuvraj had to intervene to calm down his teammates,reports claimed.

Yuvraj himself,however,denied the reports.

“There was no fight,not even an argument,” Yuvraj wrote on his Twitter page,asking the media not to “make up stories”.

Harbhajan Singh,Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina were also present on the occasion,reports said.

The Indian team under Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not win a single Super Eight stage match and crashed out with a defeat against Sri Lanka that left legions of their fans disappointed.
