India's historic 600th Test match ended in disappointment for Yashasvi Jaiswal as the young opener was run out for 32 on Saturday. The incident occurred soon after Jaiswal and KL Rahul lost their wickets in the 11th over of India's innings in the opening Test match against Sri Lanka in Galle on Saturday. Rahul was run out after a mix-up with the new skipper Jaiswal in the 11th over on Saturday.

The Sri Lankan debutant Keshara Nuwantha bowled Rahul first, who pushed the ball back to the bowler and tried to take a single. Nuwantha was also trying to stop the ball in the meanwhile when he accidentally collided with Jaiswal, who was on strike, at the non-striker's end, sending the opener on his back. As a result, both Jaiswal and Rahul were stranded at the batting end.

Yashasvi Jaiswal falls victim to bizarre run-out

The ball fell to the keeper Niroshan Dickwella, who sent the bails flying off Prabath Jayasuriya's stumps. Dickwella and Sri Lanka's captain, Dhananjaya de Silva, had a brief chat about whether to appeal, and the hosts were all in for the dismissal.

Replays suggested that Rahul had grounded his bat before Jaiswal, so the left-hander was out of his crease. Jaiswal, who was 32 off 37 balls, was the second batter to fall after a promising start, as the confusion between the opener and Rahul proved too costly.

The early wicket was a blow to the Indian batters, as the Test Match between India and Sri Lanka is crucial for determining World Test Championship standings. Shubman Gill won the toss and chose to bat first, as both teams need the points more urgently.

India needed the victory for the fifth spot in the WTC, while Sri Lanka occupied the sixth position. The two teams contest the first WTC final qualification spot in the 2027 World Test Championship, and neither can afford a draw.

India fielding three spinners in a Test is historic

Sri Lanka had two seamers and four spinners, with captain Dhananjaya de Silva and left-arm spinner Sonal Dinusha playing in the same XI. Keshara Nuwantha, the 25-year-old offie spinner, made his Test debut.

India's three spinners and two seamers' combination is identical to the one they used in their previous Test series against Afghanistan in June. Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Manav Suthar will all be bowling left-arm spin, providing a variety of variations. Devdutt Padikkal comes into the starting XI, replacing the injured Sai Sudharsan. Jasprit Bumrah, sidelined with a knee injury, is also rested.

This test match is momentous for several reasons. It is India's 600th Test match and coincides with India's 80th anniversary of Independence Day. The Galle International Stadium hosts its 50th Test Match.

The surface is expected to provide good batting conditions in the first two days, but it will favor the spinners in the coming days. India must benefit from the good batting conditions in the first two days, while their three-spin attack should be able to extract moisture from the surface to turn the ball later in the week.

A lot of discussion will center around Jaiswal's dismissal, but not in a good way, as there was nothing exceptional about the ball or the catch and an Indian batter, KL Rahul, had walked back to the non-strikers' end as soon as Jaiswal and Rahul had gone to the middle.
