IND VS SL, LIVE SCORE: Padikkal changes the No. 3 debate
IND VS SL, LIVE SCORE: Devdutt Padikkal has turned India’s No. 3 discussion on its head. Initially benefiting from Sai Sudharsan’s injury, he has responded with a mountain of runs in Sri Lanka, including centuries in successive Tests. What looked like a temporary opportunity is rapidly becoming a selection headache. India may have entered the tour viewing Sudharsan as the preferred option; Padikkal has made that position impossible to take for granted.
IND VS SL, LIVE SCORE: India eye 400-plus as Day 2 offers chance to tighten grip
IND VS SL, LIVE SCORE: India's first task on Day 2 will be to turn their strong 300/5 into a total capable of putting Sri Lanka under serious pressure. With Dhruv Jurel and debutant Saransh Jain at the crease, pushing beyond 400 should be the immediate target, especially with the SSC surface expected to become tougher for batting as the Test progresses. The venue's average first-innings score is around 323, meaning India are already near par.
Rishabh Pant's availability after retiring hurt with a wrist injury could also be significant. If he is able to return, India have an opportunity to stretch the innings well beyond 400 before handing their spinners enough runs — and time — to attack Sri Lanka.

Dhruv Jurel (7*) and debutant Saransh Jain (4*) are at the crease, while Rishabh Pant retired hurt on 3.
