Jurel’s Century Steers India to 503 | Jamaica News

Dhruv Jurel’s stunning 115 not out propelled India to a commanding 503 for 9, declaring early and leaving Sri Lanka reeling at 8 for 2. After Devdutt Padikkal’s century set the tone, Rishabh Pant returned with a gritty 112-run stand with Jurel before lunch — Pant fell for 63, but Jurel, on 48, took charge with poise in his 12th Test, reaching 95 before rain halted play. When play resumed, he smashed his century with a daring single, celebrated with Siraj, and finished with a six. Despite Sri Lanka’s bowlers, led by Asitha Fernando’s 4-106, struggling to contain India, their own batting collapsed quickly. With only 58 overs bowled due to weather, India’s dominance was clear — and Sri Lanka’s chase looked nearly impossible.
