India Equals Unwanted Record: Drops 4 Catches in 1st T20I vs Sri Lanka

• India dropped four catches in the 1st T20I against Sri Lanka in Visakhapatnam, equaling their highest record for dropped catches in a T20I.
• This poor fielding performance matches previous instances against Pakistan (2018 T20 World Cup, Providence) and Sri Lanka (2020 T20 World Cup, Melbourne).
• Despite fielding woes, India restricted Sri Lanka to a modest 121/6 in the first T20I.
• Vishmi Gunaratne top-scored for Sri Lanka with 39 runs; Hasini Perera and Harshitha Samarawickrama also contributed.
• Indian bowlers like Kranti Gaud and Deepti Sharma took crucial wickets, but fielders like Shree Charani dropped catches.

Why It Matters: India's poor fielding with 4 dropped catches equals an unwanted T20I record despite restricting Sri Lanka.
