The ugly on-field spat between Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Vishen Halambage after Sri Lanka A’s Super Over win against India A had become a huge talking point.
While some Indian fans supported Sooryavanshi saying that the teenager had just reacted to a taunt by Halambage, some experts wanted action against the 15-year-old.
Not just that, speculation was rife on social media that the BCCI was already planning a severe reprimand for not only Sooryavanshi but also for India A captain Tilak Varma who was seen arguing with the umpires during the heated contest.
But during an exclusive interview with PTI, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia not only expressed surprise at the social media reports but also almost ruled out any action neither against Sooryavanshi nor Tilak Varma.
Following an argument sparked by the Sri Lankan's offensive remark, Sooryavanshi shoved Halambage as he approached the Indian.
"A lot of things are going on in the social media that BCCI is contemplating action, etc. Do you want BCCI to step into the domain of match referee?," Saikia counter-questioned.
"The BCCI is not an authority, we should not intrude into the area where the match referee and the umpires are the main persons who can take any decision regarding any incident that had happened in the playground.
"Whatever had happened, it was a part of the game, and the BCCI have no role to play. The role is of the match referee. If anything is going wrong, he will take a call, the umpires will take a call, and there is a system in place," the eminent lawyer said.
What intensified the situation after Sri Lanka A's Super Over triumph was Halambage taunting both Sooryavanshi and Suryansh Shedge and Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella had to intervene to cool down things as the altercation grew more heated.
"Go home, this is not the IPL," was one of the remarks by Halambage, who had sledged Sooryavanshi several times, according to a Cricbuzz report. first published: Jun 18, 2026 03:35 pm Top Trends CSK IPL 2026 schedule LSG IPL Team 2026 PBKS Team list 2026 DC IPL Team 2026 RR IPL Team 2026
