Sangakkara accused of cheating in toss

Former England captain Vaughan said Sangakkara changed his stance over the toss.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan has accused Kumar Sangakkara of cheating during the coin toss of the cricket World Cup final against India,saying it was the Sri Lankan skipper’s “skulduggery” which prompted a re-toss.

There was confusion during toss of Saturday’s final,which India won by six wickets to reclaim the World Cup after 28 years.

The start to the match was marred by confusion when the coin toss had to be performed twice after match referee Jeff Crowe failed to hear what Sangakkara had called.

But Vaughan wrote on his Twitter page that Sangakkara conned his Indian counterpart Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

“Sangakkara has stuffed Dhoni. He shouted tails in the first toss and lost it. You can hear it on air.”
