There was heat in the middle of the SSC Ground in Colombo soon after the dismissal of the India National Cricket Team opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Sri Lanka National Cricket Team pacer Asitha Fernando. The fast bowler celebrated Jaiswal's dismissal aggressively.
While Jaiswal was ready to walk back into the pavilion, Fernando might have said something to the batter, which did not go well with the young opener. Jaiswal turned back and threw back some words to the Sri Lankan pacer. The exchange of words caused a heated moment in Colombo.
Yashasvi Jaiswal opens up on the heated moment with Asitha Fernando
Cricket pundit Harsha Bhogle criticized Jaiswal for talking back to Asitha Fernando instead of walking straight back to the dugout. What really happened between these two cricketers remains unknown.
As Bhogle criticized the Indian batter for his on-field behaviour, Jaiswal replied to Bhogle on a social media platform. In a comment, the opener suggested that Bhogle should stay away from making any comments, as he did not know what really happened between Jaiswal and Fernando.
Jaiswal made it clear that if anyone wants to cross the line, then they will have to face the heat, as the Indian cricketers are on the ground to fight and reply.
"If you don’t know what he said,d then please don’t make your judgment. If anyone crosses the line, we need to let them know this: India will fight and reply," Yashasvi Jaiswal replied.

Harsha Bhogle suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal walk away from this kind of situation
In a Cricbuzz video, Harsha Bhogle explained that when Jaiswal was about to leave the pitch, someone said from his behind to provoke him. What exactly the batter was told was not clear, but Bhogle was not impressed with what Yashasvi Jaiswal did after that. Jaiswal turned back and went too close to the bowler to confront him. According to Harsha, the best thing the batter could have done was to walk away from there without replying back anything to Asitha Fernando.
"The best thing to do in such a situation is just to walk away. But he turns and comes back; that's when everybody comes in. They got a little too close for my comfort. And all I will say to Jaiswal is, yes, maybe what was said should not have been said, but as you give, so you must take. The easiest thing is just to go away," Bhogle said in his explanation.
