Let us tell you that in this triangular series being played between India A, Sri Lanka A and Afghanistan A, India A had to face second consecutive defeat. The match played in Dambulla was decided in extra overs, where India A had the target of 17 runs. However, the Indian team could score only nine runs in the allotted six balls and lost the match.

After the end of the match, when he was returning out of the field with his fellow batsman Suryansh Shedge, the Sri Lanka A players were celebrating the victory. Meanwhile, the atmosphere became heated over some issue and Vaibhav Suryavanshi started arguing with some players.

Within no time the dispute escalated and the young Indian batsman even pushed a Sri Lankan player. After this, other players present on the field intervened and separated the two players. After the video of the incident surfaced, questions began to arise whether the Board of Control for Cricket in India would take any disciplinary action against the young batsman. However, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia, while reacting on this matter, has denied the possibility of any kind of action. He said that the board wants the players to concentrate completely on the tournament. Stay focused and not be influenced by any other controversy or external issue.

Big innings were expected from him in this tri-series also. However, till now he has not been successful in converting the good start into a big score. His scores so far in the tournament have been 14, 44 and 21 runs. After the controversy, the discussion on the code of conduct rules of the International Cricket Council has also intensified. According to available information, Article 2.12 of the Code of Conduct prohibits inappropriate physical contact with players, support staff, umpires, match referees or any other person. Under the rules, intentional, reckless or physical behavior that creates a confrontational situation can be considered indiscipline.
