Day 1 Ka Recap

Day 1 par India ne toss jeetkar pehle batting karne ka faisla kiya, aur shuruaat kaafi acchi rahi. Yashasvi Jaiswal ne tez andaaz me batting ki lekin ek unfortunate run-out ka shikaar ho gaye (32 runs par). Captain Shubman Gill bhi zyada der nahi tik paaye aur 16 runs banakar Prabath Jayasuriya ki gend par catch de baithe. Lekin KL Rahul ne is dauraan bahut acchi innings kheli unhone 77 runs banaye, lekin severe cramps aur physical exhaustion ki wajah se unhe retire hurt hokar maidan chhodna pada. Rahul aur Padikkal ke beech 150 runs ki partnership hui thi, jisne India ki innings ko strong foundation diya. Day 1 khatam hote-hote India ka score 288/2 tha.

Day 2 Ka Poora Ghatnakram

Day 2 par bhi rain ne apna asar dikhaya pehle one and a half sessions rain ki wajah se dhul gaye, aur khel 2:35 PM local time par shuru ho paaya. Iske bawajood 43 overs bowl hue aur din kaafi eventful raha.

Play shuru hote hi Rishabh Pant, jo overnight batting kar rahe the, jyada der nahi tik paaye aur debutant Keshara Nuwantha ki gend par sirf 39 runs banakar out ho gaye. Iske baad KL Rahul wapas crease par aaye (retire hurt hone ke baad batsman baad me dobara bat kar sakta hai) aur second new ball ka saamna karna shuru kiya.

Devdutt Padikkal ne apni innings ko aage badhaya aur ek shandaar 167 runs ki knock kheli jo unke career ka best Test score hai. Unhone 230 balls ka saamna kiya aur 15 fours ke saath 1 six bhi lagaya. Unki innings tab khatam hui jab wo Prabath Jayasuriya ki ek quick, flat delivery par stumped ho gaye bahut jaldi track down aane ki koshish unhe mehngi padi, aur wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella ne turant bails udaa diye. Poora stadium khada hokar Padikkal ke liye taaliyan bajata raha jab wo pavilion laut rahe the.

KL Rahul bhi apna century poora nahi kar paaye 82 runs banakar wo Nuwantha ki spin friendly delivery par short leg ko catch de baithe, extra bounce aur turn ki wajah se unka shot control kho gaya. Tea break tak India ka score 364/5 tha, jisme Dhruv Jurel (19*) aur Ravindra Jadeja (4*) crease par maujood the.

Tea ke baad bhi Sri Lanka ke spinners ne pressure banaye rakha. Jadeja jaldi hi out ho gaye, lekin Dhruv Jurel ne bahut composed batting dikhate hue apni fifty poori ki. Dhananjaya de Silva ne unhe 29 ke score par ek catch drop kiya tha, lekin isके baad Jurel ne koi mauka nahi diya akhir me ek spectacular catch ne unki 51 runs (68 balls, 4 fours, 1 six) ki innings ka ant kiya. Manav Suthar ne bhi 24 runs ka useful contribution diya, aur Mohammad Siraj ne kuch late runs jodkar team ko aage badhaya.
