Fifteen-year-old Indian cricket prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, recently selected for the senior national team, was involved in a physical altercation with a Sri Lanka A player following a closely contested match in Dambulla. The incident occurred after heated words were exchanged as Indian batters departed the field after a Super Over defeat. Sooryavanshi reportedly pushed the opposing player, Vishen Halambage, before being separated by Sri Lanka’s Niroshan Dickwella. The young batsman has garnered significant attention after a record-breaking performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL), where he was the leading run scorer and named the tournament’s most valuable player. He is poised to become India’s youngest ever international player. The incident occurred ahead of India’s upcoming T20 series against Ireland and England. Despite the altercation, both teams ultimately exchanged handshakes.
