Vaibhav Sooryavanshi Injured and Involved in On‑Field Dispute During Sri Lanka Tri‑Series

During India A's tour of Sri Lanka, young batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored 21 runs off 14 balls in the June 15 match against Sri Lanka A, which ended in a Super Over that India A lost. After the game, a heated exchange erupted between Sooryavanshi and a Sri Lankan player; both pushed each other and the incident was captured on video, which quickly went viral.

In a separate incident at Dambulla's Rangiri International Stadium, Sooryavanshi felt sudden pain while batting in a practice session and left the nets, raising doubts about his fitness for upcoming matches. Team management has not issued a statement. The controversy also included a moment where Sooryavanshi touched the foot of former Sri Lankan captain Anura Tennekoon as a sign of respect.
