Indian batsman Jurel scored a century, helping India seize control of the Colombo Test.
India's Test side moved into a commanding position on the second day of the Colombo match after Jurel reached the three‑figure mark. The innings, played on a pitch offering assistance to both seamers and spinners, saw the batsman blend aggression with composure to bring up his hundred.
Jurel's hundred came at a crucial juncture, stabilising the innings after early wickets fell. His stroke‑play included a mix of drives, cuts and pulls, allowing India to post a solid total and shift the momentum in their favour.
With the scoreboard reflecting India's dominance, the team now looks to build on the platform set by Jurel and aim for a decisive lead as the Test progresses.
