2nd Test: Jurel Shines With Unbeaten 95 As Rain Halts India's Push Against Sri Lanka
With Mohammed Siraj: Dhruv Jurel produced a flawless display of risk-free batting to reach 95 not out before heavy rain brought an early end to the second session on day two’s play against Sri Lanka at the SSC Ground on Monday.
By the time early tea was taken, India reached 475/8 in 131.2 overs. High winds and darkening skies forced the umpires to halt play, leading to an early tea break. Rain intensified shortly after, prompting the groundstaff to bring the entire playing area under heavy covers.
Jurel remains five runs shy of a well-deserved second Test century – his first ton in Sri Lanka, while Mohammed Siraj is yet to open his account after facing 17 deliveries. After lunch break, Sri Lanka struck on the very first ball when Rishabh Pant hit Keshara Nuwantha straight to long-off. Though Pant fell for an entertaining 63 off 89 balls and the 112-run stand off 152 balls came to a halt, Jurel quickly seized control of the innings alongside Manav Suthar.
