India won the toss and chose to bat first in Colombo on Sunday, August 23. The visiting team took a 1-0 lead in the series after a dominant victory in Galle. However, Sri Lanka struck early, dismissing both Indian openers as the visitors slipped to 66 for two inside 17 overs during the morning session on Day 1.
Fernando bowled from around the wicket and a good-length delivery outside off. Yashasvi Jaiswal stayed rooted in his crease and tried to punch through the off side, but the ball nipped back and took the inside edge before crashing into the off stump.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Asitha Fernando came close and engaged in some pushing and shoving. Kamindu Mendis and the Sri Lankan players quickly stepped in to separate them.
