A physical altercation involving 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Sri Lankan cricketers, specifically Vishen Halambage, occurred during a Super Over of the India A vs Sri Lanka A match in Dambulla. The incident sparked sanctions by the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) against Halambage and wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella for provocative comments and conduct. While the SLC acted, the BCCI reportedly refrained from formal action against Sooryavanshi. Some outlets also highlighted concerns over poor umpiring and framed the event as a reflection of Sooryavanshi's need for better impulse control.
