Fans Slam Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for On-Field Clash with Sri Lanka A
The 15-year-old India A opener faces backlash after a heated exchange during the tied Tri-Nation series match.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the young Rajasthan Royals opener, failed to make an impact yet again as India A faced Sri Lanka A in the fourth match of the Tri-Nation series. He managed only 21 off 14 balls, including three boundaries and a six, and struggled in the Super Over as India A fell short. His consistent failures have drawn criticism from fans, but now his off-field behavior has added to the scrutiny.
A viral video shows Sooryavanshi involved in a heated exchange with Sri Lanka A players after the match, with some fans accusing him of getting physical. Social media erupted with reactions, with many slamming the youngster's attitude. Cricket experts and fans alike expressed disappointment, while a few defended him, claiming he was provoked by the opposition.
The incident has sparked debate over the teenager's temperament, coming soon after his lucrative IPL 2026 contract. While some see it as youthful aggression, others believe it reflects poorly on his discipline. The Board may need to address this to ensure such behavior doesn't recur.
