Yashasvi Jaiswal Headbutts Asitha Fernando After Bowler Celebrates Wicket In Heated IND Vs SL 2nd Test Exchange | VIDEO

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sri Lankan pacer Asitha Fernando were involved in a heated on-field confrontation after the Indian opener's dismissal. The incident quickly grabbed attention as emotions spilled over following Fernando's wicket celebration. The Indian opener seemed to have pushed the bowler away with his helmet, before the fight was broken up by Dhananjaya de Silva.

Fernando had produced a crucial breakthrough to dismiss Jaiswal and celebrated passionately. The two players then came face-to-face and exchanged words in a tense moment on the field. Jaiswal was walking back towards the pavillion before turning around after Fernando chirped something.

Their heads clashed, with Jaiswal wearing a helmet, before the fighting rivals were separated by Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva. The fiery exchange added another dramatic chapter to the intense India-Sri Lanka Test contest. It is a moment of headloss for Jaiswal, who is likely to face a fine for his actions.

Not only with his conduct, Jaiswal would be disapointed with how his innings ended. The left-hander looked in imperious touch, having raced to 45 in no time and looked set for a big knock. However, it was Asitha who dealt the crucial blow as India lost both openers in the first session of the 2nd Test.
