A dramatic tri-series cricket match between India A and Sri Lanka A ended in controversy and a heated confrontation involving teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after India A's Super Over loss.
Teen batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was involved in a heated argument that almost led to a physical confrontation with a Sri Lanka A player after an ill-tempered end to the tri-series contest which India A lost following a Super Over.
Needing 17 to win in the Super Over, India managed only nine runs against slinger Kaguthas Mathulan to lose their second game in a row. Sooryavanshi, who faced the last three deliveries from Mathulan, managed only six runs including a boundary.
Once the match got over, the Lankan players were involved in what can be described as 'over the top' celebrations as Sooryavanshi and his partner Suryansh Shedge were seen walking back towards the pavilion.
However, TV cameras caught Sooryavanshi angrily charging towards the tall fast bowler Mathulan and one of his teammates Vishen Halambage intervened. What triggered the confrontation in all likelihood was some…

Super Over Drama As Arshdeep, Shanaka, and Run-Out Confusion Stun Fans
The Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Sri Lanka produced one of the most dramatic Super Over finishes in recent memory, with confusion, controversy, and sheer brilliance combining to leave fans on the edge of their seats. The flashpoint came on the 4th ball of the Super Over. Sri Lanka, already struggling at 2/1, faced a moment of utter chaos. Arshdeep Singh delivered a wide yorker to Dasun Shanaka, and the on-field umpire ruled it caught behind.
India erupted in celebration, only for Shanaka to immediately review, insisting he hadn’t nicked it. Technology backed him up, showing no bat involved, overturning the dismissal. What followed, however, was unprecedented. Shanaka, after missing the ball, attempted a risky single but was run out by a sharp direct hit from Sanju Samson.
