While the match between India A and Sri Lanka A could have been just another defeat, it turned out to be a nightmare for the captain, Tilak Varma. Tilak was leading the side as India lost in the super over. India suffered a 10-run penalty, apart from the multiple heated arguments India got involved in, in which Tilak played the ultimate role. Rather, the super over, which decided the fate of both sides, was played after Tilak insisted. After the match was tied, players from both sides were preparing to leave. But Tilak Varma had an intense chat with the umpires for around 10 minutes, which even summoned the third umpire on the field. Because the tournament venue lacked floodlights, the match ended in near-total darkness. Due to the severe bad light, the umpires initially refused to conduct a Super Over. Varma and his team engaged in a lengthy, heated standoff on the pitch until the officials finally relented and allowed the shootout Watch the video here: A heated moment between Tilak Verma and Umpire. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/pe67HdkoHK — Qamar.

On the final ball of the regular match, Sri Lanka A needed 1 run to win. The ball struck batter Chamika Gunasekara on the pad, allowing them to sneak a tie-forcing run before a run-out occurred on the second attempt. Varma argued aggressively that the batter did not offer a shot, meaning the leg-bye should never have been awarded. Had the umpires agreed, India A would have won the match outright by 1 run. During the final ball of Sri Lanka's Super Over, Arshad Khan bowled a dipping waist-high full toss to Avishka Fernando, who was caught. The on-field umpires initially gave it as a wicket, and the Indian team began walking off to prepare for their chase. The third umpire reviewed the footage, overturned the call, and declared it a No-Ball. The umpires forced the Indian team back onto the field to re-bowl the delivery. An incredibly frustrated Varma was seen in an intense, finger-pointing confrontation with the officials. Sri Lanka A subsequently capitalized on the extra ball to boost their score to 16, and India A went on to lose the match
