On the fifth and final day of the Duleep Trophy Final between West Zone and South Zone, a drama unfolded in the middle when West Zone captain Ajinkya Rahane ejected young lead-off hitter Yashasvi Jaiswal due to disciplinary issues. The entire episode unfolded as Jaiswal made regular visits to South Zone batter T Ravi Teja. Both players continued to compete, and eventually the umpires decided to talk to Rahane.
During the 50th left of the last innings, Jaiswal and Ravi Teja engaged in a verbal exchange. Rahane quickly attacked to pacify the situation. The experienced player had a conversation with Jaiswal.
But Jaiswal kept trying Teja, and then Rahane decided to send him away. Jaiswal was seen muttering something to himself as he walked away from the field.
