Sarfaraz used the moment to distract him, telling him to focus on the ball instead.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>\u201cNothing is there, bro. You are looking there. You are just wasting time, bro. Don&#8217;t be scared. You are the captain. Come on, bro,&#8221; he was heard saying on the stump mic.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Watch:<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cWhy are you worried about that side. <!-- -->Look straight,&#8221; he added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The tactic seemed to work soon after. Suthar dismissed Dhananjaya in the same over when the batter edged a tossed-up delivery. Dhruv Jurel\u2019s gloves deflected the ball towards slip, where KL Rahul eventually completed the catch. Dhananjaya was out for 8.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Dickwella falls into India&#8217;s trap<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Sarfaraz continued his chatter when Niroshan Dickwella came to the crease. India also used short-pitched deliveries against the wicketkeeper-batter, a strategy that had worked in the first Test.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Despite the exchanges being accompanied by smiles, Sarfaraz had the final say when Dickwella gloved a delivery from Mohammed Siraj through to Jurel. His dismissal further strengthened India\u2019s position.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Earlier, India declared their first innings at 503\/9. Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel scored centuries, while Asitha Fernando was Sri Lanka\u2019s best bowler with four wickets.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
