Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane smashed hundreds to help India seize the initiative on the opening day of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground on Thursday. Pujara (128*) and Rahane’s (103*) unfinished fourth wicket partnership has yielded 211 runs, India finishing the day on 344 for three in 90 overs as Sri Lanka’s spin gamble backfired. Opener KL Rahul marked his return to international cricket from a long injury-lay off with his sixth successive half-century to set the foundation and the middle-order consolidated.
