ପଡିକଲଙ୍କ ଶତକ, ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ଦିନ ଶେଷ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଭାରତ ୩୫୭/୬

According to Dharitri, the Indian cricket team reached a score of 357/6 by the end of the second day of their warm-up match against Sri Lanka XI in Colombo. The performance was anchored by Devdutt Padikkal, who remained unbeaten on 142 runs at the close of play. He was joined at the crease by Gurkeerat Mann, who was not out on 36.

The match follows the Sri Lankan side's first innings, where they declared at 363/8. India's innings saw an early setback with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal failing to score, but the team recovered through the middle order to post a competitive total. The warm-up fixture serves as a key preparation period for the touring Indian squad.

Cricket warm-up matches are standard practice for international teams to acclimatize to local conditions and test squad depth before official series begin. The focus for the remainder of the match will be on India's ability to surpass the Sri Lankan total and the performance of the bowling attack in the upcoming innings.
