Before the start of the second day of the practice game between India and Sri Lanka XI, Sri Lanka XI declared their first innings. On the first day, Sri Lanka XI scored 363 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in 90 overs. Keshara Nuwantha was not out at 9, and Dilum Sudira was not out at 1. India’s innings began on a poor note. The opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal, was out on 0 from the second ball and was caught by Sudira off Vishwa Fernando.
Thereafter, the Indian captain KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal batted cautiously. In the first innings of Sri Lanka XI, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Manav Suthar managed to dismiss two wickets each. To everyone’s surprise, Saransh Jain, Prasidh Krishna, and Mohammed Siraj failed to dismiss a single batsman.
In the match being played at the Nondescripts Cricket Club Ground, Nishan Madushanka and Ravindu Rasantha gave Sri Lanka a strong start, sharing a 110-run partnership for the first wicket. Madushanka was dismissed for 66 runs, including 11 fours and one six. The middle and lower-order batsmen capitalized on this excellent opening partnership, playing useful innings to put the team in a strong position.
Opener Ravindu Rasantha scored 71 runs. Batting at number three, Pasindu Sooriyabandara scored 35, batting at number four, Pawan Rathnayake scored 39, batting at number five, Ahan Wickramasinghe scored 31, and captain Sonal Dinusha, batting at number six, scored 52. Eighth batsman Ramesh Mendis also scored 32. These innings helped Sri Lanka reach 363 for 8.
India's top fast bowlers, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna, were wicketless. Experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja took 2 wickets for 64 runs in 15 overs. Kuldeep Yadav and Manav Suthar also took 2 wickets each. Gurnur Brar took 1 wicket. The good news for the Indian team is that all three spinners have been successful in taking wickets. All three spinners will play a crucial role in the upcoming two-Test series.
