Sri Lanka A players tried to provoke Vaibhav Suryavanshi by sledding in the last match, as was seen on camera and then a heated argument was seen between the 15-year-old Indian player. On Sunday, both the teams will once again face each other, this time the clash is for the title. Is Vaibhav being deliberately targeted? Sri Lankan captain Sahan Arachige gave a big statement regarding this.

The last time the two faced each other, Sri Lanka A defeated India A in the Super Over. When Vaibhav was leaving after the match, Sri Lankan player Vishen Halambage said something to him and an argument started between the two. The matter came to the point of pushing and shoving. Sri Lankan captain Arachige rejected the claims of the reports that Sri Lankan players were deliberately targeting Vaibhav repeatedly. He said that whatever happened on the field happened due to emotions and pressure.

Sahan Arachige told Sportstar, ‘Our players are not targeting any particular player. They are just playing, enjoying like this. Emotions become visible in matches like Super Over, it is a part of the game. He said that there are many experienced players in the team, who know how to behave.
