India’s opener Yashasvi Jaiswal appeared to have head-butted Sri Lanka’s pacer Asitha Fernando during the second Test in Colombo, putting him at risk of a harsh punishment from the International Cricket Council (ICC). On the final ball of the 17th over, Fernando bowled him for 45 (53). Several Sri Lankan players surrounded the batter and bowler as they got into a heated altercation. Devdutt Padikkal tried to persuade Jaiswal to walk away, but he persisted in moving in Fernando’s direction, leading to the players bashing their heads.
