Goa, Aug. 24 -- Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sri Lanka fast bowler Asitha Fernando have both been fined 25% of their match fees and awarded one demerit point following an on-field confrontation during the second Test between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo.

The incident occurred on the opening morning of the Test after Asitha dismissed Jaiswal for 45 from 53 deliveries. Asitha celebrated the wicket with his teammates, and Jaiswal, who was walking towards the dressing room, turned back and moved towards the Sri Lankan bowler.

According to the International Cricket Council, the two players exchanged words before Asitha moved his head towards Jaiswal. The Indian batter then leaned forward, resulting in contact between the two players' heads.
