- No disciplinary action announced so far despite the heated on-field exchange.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi India A Fight: India A’s recent encounter with Sri Lanka A should have been remembered solely for the cricket. Instead, the match ended with attention shifting to an on-field confrontation involving teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old batsman became involved in a heated exchange with Sri Lanka A players moments after the contest concluded. While the incident did not escalate into a full-blown physical altercation, it was serious enough to require intervention from those around.
What Exactly Sparked The Confrontation?
According to a report by Cricbuzz, tensions flared after Sri Lanka A player Vishen Halambage allegedly directed a comment at Sooryavanshi following the conclusion of the Super Over.
The report claims Halambage told the youngster, “Match over… now you go home…”
The remark seemingly did not go down well with the Indian batsman, who reacted angrily. What began as a verbal exchange soon turned heated, with players from both sides becoming involved as emotions boiled over after an intense contest.
There was some pushing and shoving during the exchange, although the situation was quickly brought under control before it could escalate further.

Why Emotions Were Already Running High
The incident did not occur in isolation. The match itself had been a tense affair that went all the way to a Super Over, with both teams battling fiercely for victory.
Adding to the controversy was the decision to continue play despite concerns over fading light. According to the report, the issue was later discussed within the Sri Lanka A dressing room.
Some members of the squad reportedly felt an apology should be offered to the Indian side, particularly given the circumstances surrounding the end of the game and the emotions involved.
Could There Be Disciplinary Consequences?
For now, no official action has been announced. Match referee Pradeep Jayaprakash has not issued any sanctions against either player or team. However, the incident has naturally led to questions about whether further scrutiny could follow.
Although ‘A’ team matches do not always attract the same level of disciplinary attention as senior internationals, incidents involving aggressive conduct can still be reviewed if officials deem it necessary.
