Yashasvi Jaiswal got into an argument with middle-order batsman Ravi Teja, later skipper was seen chatting with him, who looked pretty animated. Rahane asked his teammate Jaiswal to leave the field as a disciplinary action.

The umpires intervened quickly to bring calm to the situation. However, things soon became normal after Rahane walked up and had a long chat with him.
