Padikkal and Pant Share Injuries After India-Sri Lanka Test Series Draw
After the second Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo ended in a draw, Indian players Devdutt Padikkal and Rishabh Pant shared images of their physical toll from the series. Padikkal, the top run-scorer with two centuries, showed a back mark from extended fielding, while Pant posted a photo of a bruised shoulder sustained from a short delivery that forced him to retire hurt temporarily. Despite injuries and tough conditions, India fought hard but were denied a clean sweep by resilient Sri Lankan batting.
