Jaiswal's Stunning Slip Catch Highlights India-Sri Lanka Second Test
Yashasvi Jaiswal made an excellent catch during India’s Test match against Sri Lanka.
He caught Lahiru Udara very close to the ground at third slip.
Udara had scored only one run when he edged a ball from Prasidh Krishna.
Jaiswal and the Indian team celebrated excitedly after the wicket.
This happened soon after Jaiswal was fined by the ICC for making inappropriate physical contact with Asitha Fernando.
India had already declared its innings at 503 runs for nine wickets.
Sri Lanka then lost two wickets and finished the day at 8/2.
The reports describe the direction of Jaiswal’s dive differently, but agree that it was a stunning catch.
Yashasvi Jaiswal took a low, spectacular catch at third slip to dismiss Sri Lanka opener Lahiru Udara.
Udara edged Prasidh Krishna’s delivery while defending and was dismissed for one run.
Jaiswal celebrated energetically with his teammates shortly after receiving an ICC fine.
The ICC fined Jaiswal 25% of his match fee and gave him one demerit point for inappropriate physical contact with Asitha Fernando.
India declared at 503/9, while Sri Lanka ended day two at 8/2 after losing two wickets late in the day.
