Indian opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal unsettled Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella with on-field banter during the final day of the Galle Test on Tuesday, August 19. Dickwella was dismissed after the exchange with Jaiswal, further denting Sri Lanka’s run chase in the fourth innings.
Sri Lanka had shown strong resistance during the morning session as Dhananjaya de Silva and Sonal Dinusha brought up half-centuries. However, Ravindra Jadeja dismissed De Silva at short fine leg to break the partnership. Dickwella came to the crease at no. 7 when the team was struggling at 142-5.
Yashasvi Jaiswal tempts Niroshan Dickwella with IPL offer before wicket
Yashasvi Jaiswal began chirping from his fielding position at square leg when Niroshan Dickwella at the crease. The Indian batter urged the left-hander to play aggressively and pointed towards the square-leg boundary, challenging him to clear the ropes.
Jaiswal said, “Come on, we need to see some sixes from you!” Dickwella replied, “If you take me to the IPL.” Jaiswal then responded, “Hit some sixes, then I will.” Dickwella also replied to the slip fielder, saying, “Yes, I will, sir.”
The tactic appeared to work in the following over when Prasidh Krishna dismissed Dickwella. Krishna delivered a short ball outside the leg stump. Dickwella moved across to create room for the cut but failed to control the shot.
The ball took a faint outside edge and went through to Rishabh Pant, who completed the catch. Dickwella departed for 10, leaving Sri Lanka six wickets down and exposing the lower order.
