SL batter says 'thank you' to Jaiswal's 'IPL' promise, then throws his wicket
With Sri Lanka chasing 372, Dickwella and Jaiswal exchanged words during the 60th over, with Jaiswal challenging the left-hander to attack India's bowling.
Niroshan Dickwella exchanged words with India's Yashasvi Jaiswal during the 60th over, urging the batsman to attack India's bowling in the opening Test of the Sri Lanka-India series in Galle. Jaiswal responded to the challenge, vowing to show Dickwella how to hit the ball. However, the conversation came to an abrupt end when Dickwella tried to hit the ball through the off side on the final ball of the over, only to edge it behind, resulting in his dismissal.
With the dismissal, Sri Lanka was left in a precarious position at 175 for six, needing four more wickets to secure a win. India, now needing just four more wickets to clinch the victory, went on to dismiss the hosts for 206 in the post-lunch session, sealing a 165-run victory in the first Test and a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.
