Fans on X (formerly Twitter) are going absolutely wild over India A's dominant bowling display and their incredible comeback against Sri Lanka A in the final.The biggest talking points on social media center on Yash Thakur's lethal opening spell and a sweet sense of revenge after an earlier heated clash between the two teams. Fast bowler Yash Thakur is trending heavily after his fiery opening spell ripped through Sri Lanka A's top order.Fans are praising his ability to swing the ball and pick up three massive wickets right when India needed to defend their total.Many posts are highlighting his smart bowling against aggressive Sri Lankan openers like Niroshan Dickwella, calling his leg-stump cleaner a "peach of a delivery".
The loudest buzz on X connects India's strong performance today to a heated on-field spat from a few days ago. In an earlier match, Sri Lankan players reportedly told 15-year-old Indian opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to "go home, kid". Memes are flooding X showing how India answered back perfectly. First, Sooryavanshi smashed a breathtaking 94 off 29 balls, and then the bowlers backed it up by completely silencing the Sri Lankan batters. Fans on X quickly reminded Manjrekar that just days ago, he had tweeted that the young batter should be dropped from the team for getting into the fight with Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka A loses four wickets as Yash Thakur delivers masterclass in bowling
Yash Thakur dismantled Sri Lanka A’s top order early in their huge 378-run chase.He struck in his very first over to get the first wicket. Thakur bowled a sharp delivery to opener Avishka Fernando (3). Fernando got a thick outside edge, and the ball flew straight to Ruturaj Gaikwad at short third man. The second wicket was the dangerous Niroshan Dickwella (25). Dickwella was scoring fast and trying to counter-attack. Thakur bowled a clever, angling delivery that completely deceived the batter. Dickwella swung wildly and missed, and the ball crashed straight into his leg stump.These two quick strikes left Sri Lanka A reeling early in the final match.
Yash Thakur and Ashok Sharma continued to destroy Sri Lanka A’s batting lineup.Thakur claimed the third wicket by dismissing Nuwanidu Fernando (21). Nuwanidu tried to flick a delivery down the leg side but mistimed his shot. The ball flew straight to Vipraj Nigam, who took a comfortable catch at long leg. The fourth wicket was the crucial breakthrough of Sadeera Samarawickrama (52). Samarawickrama had hit a quick half-century and looked dangerous. However, bowler Ashok Sharma outsmarted him. Sharma bowled a clever delivery, and Samarawickrama chipped it right back to the bowler for a simple caught-and-bowled.These two important wickets completely broke Sri Lanka A's hopes of chasing the massive target.
