In an unusual act, West Zone captain Ajinjya Rahane asked his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal to leave the field for excessive sledging on the 5th and final day of the Duleep Trophy final in Coimbatore.
Jaiswal was consistently throwing verbal volleys at South Zone batter Ravi Teja while fielding close to the bat. After Teja's complaint, Rahane spoke to Yashasvi but the youngster appeared to be animated when the captain had a word with him.

Then, Rahane ordered Yashasvi to leave the field and west Zone fielded with 10 men only for seven overs before 20-year-old Jaiswal returned to the field.
Jaiswal was later declared Man of the Match after West Zone won the final by 294 runs.
Reacting to the incident after the match, Rahane said that he believes in respecting the opponents, umpires and match officials and that certain incidents need to be treated in a certain manner.
