Bad-Light Dispute and On-Field Incidents Mark India-Sri Lanka Second Test
The second Test between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo saw tensions rise over bad-light conditions on Day 2. Despite fading light, umpires allowed play to continue with spinners bowling, leading to Sri Lankan nightwatchman Prabath Jayasuriya's dismissal by Manav Suthar. Sri Lankan players expressed displeasure, with Jayasuriya visibly frustrated. Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar criticized Sri Lanka's focus during the incident. Earlier, Day 1 featured a separate on-field confrontation between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Asitha Fernando, resulting in fines and demerit points for both players.
