Ravindra Jadeja and Gautam Gambhir angry - (Source: X)India started Day 4 on a high note as the Shubman Gill-led side enforced a follow-on. Sri Lanka were asked to bat again and lost an early wicket, but Pasindu and Kamil Mishara stitched a 50+ run stand for the 2nd wicket. Indian fielders were also to be blamed for the 2nd wicket stand, which left Gautam Gambhir and Ravindra Jadeja fuming.India have been great in the field in the first two Tests, but the fielders looked like a pale shadow of their best versions on Day 4. There were dropped catches, a lack of effort, and the patience ran out when Prasidh Krishna failed to grab a difficult chance.Gautam Gambhir, Ravindra Jadeja Fume At Prasidh KrishnaOn the 5th ball of the 13th over, Ravindra Jadeja trapped Pasindu Sooriyabandara with a flighted delivery. The Sri Lanka batter ran out of patience and looked to whack the ball away. However, it led to a top-edge that went in Prasidh Krishna’s direction, who was standing at point. It was a difficult opportunity, but Krishna was late to it and couldn’t grab the ball. Ravindra Jadeja was furious with the lack of effort and expressed his anger by hurling a few words. Meanwhile, the camera also panned on Gautam Gambhir, who was on the balcony and not impressed by Prasidh Krishna.Gambhir visibly gestured his displeasure to the India seamer because India cannot let the match slip from this position.

The reason why India management and Ravindra Jadeja were furious at Krishna was because a catch was dropped a few minutes before that.It all happened during the 11th over of Sri Lanka’s second innings, when Pasindu Sooriyabandara tried to attack Manav Suthar. He played a slog-sweep, while Suthar held his length to make his life difficult. As a result, Sooriyabandara could only find a huge top edge, and Siraj dropped the tough chance.The India seamer hurt himself but Manav Suthar was fuming and angry as the right-arm pacer for not holding onto such efforts.Was Prasidh Krishna Really To Be Blamed?Looking at the replay, the ball was spinning in the air and was far from Prasidh Krishna. It was a nice effort but it was nowhere close to be catch. The management might argue that the right-arm seamer was late to react, but fast bowlers also need to look after their body.Krishna has been bowling really well and has already picked up 3 wickets in the 2nd Test. The right-arm seamer bowled a brilliant spell in the first innings to enforce a follow-on on Sri Lanka and India need him fit to bowl in the 2nd innings as well.Also Read: Shubman Gill Refuses To Move After 3rd Umpire Rescues Sonal Dinusha Before 100
