Yashasvi Jaiswal Dismissed for Duck in India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Second Innings
India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for a three-ball duck in the second innings of the first Test against Sri Lanka, falling to pacer Asitha Fernando. Jaiswal attempted a cut shot outside off stump but failed to move his feet, resulting in a bottom edge caught by wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella. This dismissal highlights a decline in Jaiswal's effectiveness playing cut shots against pace in Tests, despite maintaining an aggressive approach. Sri Lanka's early breakthrough increased pressure on the Indian batting lineup.
