India defeated Sri Lanka Cricket XI by six wickets in a three-day warm-up game on Sunday. The Shubman Gill-led side got ideal batting practice as openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put on exactly 105 runs for the first wicket, giving India a flying start in the chase. The match serves as preparation ahead of the two-match series against Sri Lanka. Both Jaiswal and Gill used the opportunity to spend time in the middle and fine-tune their form.
