India Draws Second Test Against Sri Lanka, Wins Series 1-0 Amid Dinusha's Resistance
India won the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka 1-0 after a drawn second Test in Colombo. Despite taking a 213-run first-innings lead and enforcing the follow-on, India was denied victory by Sonal Dinusha's unbeaten 133 and resilient batting from other Sri Lankan players. India captain Shubman Gill praised Sri Lanka's fightback and said his team did everything possible. The draw affected India's World Test Championship points, but Gill remained optimistic about qualifying for the final. Key performances included centuries from Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel for India.
