Yashasvi Jaiswal charged toward a bowler and made visible contact with Fernando's head during the India v Sri Lanka match, an incident reported on August 23, 2026.
Sri Lankan players stepped in, separated the two and prevented the situation from escalating. India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said Jaiswal "shouldn't have gone so close" and called the episode something that happened in the "heat of the moment."
