Jaiswal Falls For Three-Ball Duck As Sri Lanka Strike Early

Jaiswal Falls For Three-Ball Duck As Sri Lanka Strike Early

In a cricket test match between India and Sri Lanka, an Indian batter named Yashasvi Jaiswal came out to bat.

But he never got the chance to score, because he was out after facing just three balls.

Getting out without scoring any runs is called a 'duck' in cricket.

Sri Lankan bowler Asitha Fernando bowled a tricky ball that made Jaiswal want to hit it.

Jaiswal tried a cut shot but did not move his feet well, and the ball hit the edge of his bat.

The ball flew low toward the wicketkeeper, Niroshan Dickwella, who made a great diving catch.

This early wicket was a big boost for Sri Lanka in the second innings.

Now the rest of India's batters have to work hard to steady the innings and build a strong lead.

Jaiswal, who is known for aggressive batting, was disappointed with how he got out.
