In the opening Test of the 2026 India‑Sri Lanka series, Prasidh Krishna took a brilliant boundary catch to send Nishan Madushka back to the pavilion on just six runs.
Prasidh Krishna, the Indian fast‑bowler, produced a textbook boundary catch in the first Test of the 2026 series against Sri Lanka. The catch came off a lofted drive from Sri Lanka's opening batsman Nishan Madushka, who had reached six runs before being dismissed.
The wicket fell early in the innings, adding pressure on the Sri Lankan top order. Madushka's brief stay at the crease highlighted India's early dominance in the match, with the Indian side already looking to build a substantial lead.
Krishna's fielding effort was widely praised by commentators for its timing and athleticism, underscoring the importance of fielding standards in modern Test cricket. The dismissal contributed to Sri Lanka's modest total at the end of the session.
India will aim to capitalize on the early breakthrough as the Test progresses, while Sri Lanka will look to recover from the loss of an opening partner.
