India maintained firm control on Day 3 of their warm-up match against Sri Lanka Cricket XI, with top-order batters making significant contributions ahead of the upcoming tour fixtures.

Jaiswal Responds with Rapid Half-Century

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal displayed his attacking prowess by striking a quickfire fifty to put the host tour side on top. The half-century was a welcome turnaround for the young left-hander, who had earlier faced a setback after falling for a two-ball duck amidst continued challenges against left-arm pace bowl during the practice game.

Gill and Top Order Keep India in Command

Alongside Jaiswal, Shubman Gill also made his presence felt with a solid outing at the crease. Their combined efforts allowed India to cruise through the third day of the warm-up contest, gaining valuable match practice against the Sri Lanka Cricket XI bowling attack.

The tune-up fixture provides the Indian management with vital insights as players fine-tune their form and adapt to local conditions before the official series gets underway.
