While both the young teams were on their toes when it came to their aggression, a few moments stood out in the match. In the first innings when India batted, opener Divyaansh Saxena was almost hit on his head by a throw taken by Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Later in the innings, Indian sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal's dismissal triggered bowler Shoriful Islam to partake in a fairly elaborate celebration. Finally, when the Bangla boys hit the winning runs, their teammates rushed onto the field and did an exaggerated celebration that led to altercations with the upset Indian team. In a video taken from the commentary box by former cricketer JP Duminy, it can be observed that there was physical contact between the players.
