Yashasvi Jaiswal Dismissed Early Again as Padikkal Scores Half-Century in India Practice Match
India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for a two-ball duck by left-arm pacer Vishwa Fernando during a practice match against Sri Lanka Cricket XI in Colombo. Jaiswal has struggled against left-arm pace, with nine Test dismissals by such bowlers, including three by Marco Jansen in recent World Test Championship matches. Meanwhile, KL Rahul scored 40 and Devdutt Padikkal made a half-century, strengthening his case for India's No. 3 spot ahead of the upcoming Test series starting August 15.
