Friend, refer to this answer provided in a blog (with additional info from authentication token does not match ~/.emulator_console_auth_token)

adb devices

Note the number after emulator (emulator-5554). This is the port number.

Step 2: Connect to the console using the telnet command:

telnet localhost 5554 

Step 3: You will then need to authenticate the session. Find the auth_token in ~/.emulator_console_auth_token and copy the text in the file. Return to the telnet console and enter:

auth {contents_of_token_file}

Step 4: After you have authenticated the shell you can emulate SMS with the command:

sms send
