In the opening day of India's only warm-up match before the Test series against Sri Lanka, the visitors fought back impressively after a frustrating start. The Sri Lankan Cricket XI had raced to a 110-run opening stand, but Manav Suthar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja led India's charge, leaving the hosts at 363/8 at stumps. India will aim to wrap up the innings quickly on Day 2 to provide their batters ample time in the middle ahead of the Test series. The Indian spinners dominated the final session, with Manav Suthar taking a crucial wicket of Sonal Dinusha for 52. The second new ball has paid immediate dividends, with Ravindra Jadeja and Gurnoor Brar claiming wickets to keep India in contention.
