Jaiswal falls for two-ball duck as left-arm pace struggle continues in SL warm-up · indianexpress.com

A famous cricket player named Yashasvi Jaiswal plays for India.

He was playing a practice match against a team from Sri Lanka.

A practice match is a game teams play to get ready for big competitions.

At the start of his team's turn to bat, Jaiswal faced the second ball of the innings.

The bowler, Vishwa Fernando, threw a ball that went wide of the stumps.

Jaiswal swung his bat but did not move his feet at all.

He hit the ball straight to a fielder near the edge of the field, who caught it.

Jaiswal was out before scoring any runs.

Getting out for zero runs is called a 'duck' in cricket.

This shows India is still having trouble against left-arm fast bowlers.
