Indian spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja ran through the Sri Lanka Board&rsquo;s President XI (SLBP) batting before opener KL Rahul made a solid return from injury on the opening day of the two-day warm-up tie, here yesterday.
The home team was comfortably placed at 139 for one, thanks to the second wicket stand from opener Danushka Gunathilaka (74) and Lahiru Thirimanne (59) before collapsing to 187 all out. The match situation changed drastically after Thirimanne&rsquo;s fall in the 38th over with the next nine batsmen adding 48 to the total in the innings lasting 55.5 overs.
All eight bowlers in the Indian squad had a go with chinaman Kuldeep (4-14 in 6.5 overs) and Jadeja (3-31 in 9overs) standing out.
India got to bat for 30 overs, scoring 135 for three with opener Abhinav Mukund (0) and Cheteshwar Pujara (12) falling cheaply.
Rahul, returning to competitive cricket after a three-month injury lay-off, made a fine 54 off 58 balls including seven fours. Virat Kohli too got to spend some time in the middle. He scored 34 off 46 balls and shared an unbeaten 43-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane (30 not out).
