Pant and Jurel's Partnership Leads India to 419 for Six at Lunch in Second Test
On the second day of the second Test in Colombo, India reached 419 for six at lunch, propelled by half-centuries from Rishabh Pant (63*) and Dhruv Jurel (59). The pair added 112 runs for the seventh wicket, stabilizing the innings after early wickets. Pant returned to bat despite a forearm injury and faced aggressive bowling, showing resilience. This partnership is notable as only the second century stand for India’s seventh wicket or lower in Sri Lanka Tests, putting India in a strong position.
