Five balls later, he bowled Dhananjay de Silva (0) with the score reading 1\/2. Ishant was then on a hat-trick in the very next over, removing Upul Tharanga (0) for another first-ball duck. New batsman Milinda Siriwardana (32 runs, 48 balls, 6 fours) avoided it and the next couple of overs there were no further losses. Ishant returned in the 8th over, his fourth and final of this spell, to remove Lahiru Thirimanne (5) and Kusal Perera (0).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/cricket\/Ishant-Sharma-Test.jpg\" alt=\"Ishant Sharma Test\" style=\"margin: 4px; float: left;\" \/>Colombo:<\/strong> After India were all out for 351 in their first innings of their three- day warm-up cricket match against Sri Lanka Board President&#8217;s XI on Friday, Ishant Sharma bowled a sensational spell (5-23) that would give a lot of confidence to the visitors ahead of their Test series against the Islanders.
