Fifteen-year-old Indian cricketer Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was involved in an on-field altercation, pushing a Sri Lankan spinner after alleged provocation during a tri-series match in Dambulla. The incident occurred following a Super Over loss to Sri Lanka A.

Former Indian batter Manoj Tiwary commented that Sooryavanshi needs to learn how to handle provocations, noting that other teams may target him due to his fast-tracked success. Tiwary suggested the young player decide on his cricketing persona, whether calm like Sachin Tendulkar or aggressive like Virat Kohli.

Spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule described the event as unfortunate but expressed confidence in Sooryavanshi's ability to learn from the experience and mature. He also suggested that Sri Lankan players involved should be educated on proper conduct.
