Indian batsmen dominate amid rain disruptions
The second day’s play was hampered by rain. The first session was a complete game washout. While in the second session too, only a few overs were possible. On the second day, India first lost the wicket of Rishabh Pant (39 runs). Who was dismissed by debutant Keshara Nuvantha. After that, retired hurt Lokesh Rahul came back to the field but could not score more and was a victim of Nuvantha for 82 runs. India lost the fifth wicket in the form of Devdutt Paddikal, who scored a brilliant 167 off 230 balls with 15 fours and 1 six. Ravindra Jadeja (13 runs) also fell prey to Nuvantha cheaply. Dhruv Jurail and Manav Suthar shared a partnership of 55 runs for the seventh wicket. Jurail scored 51 runs in 68 balls with the help of 4 fours and 1 six. After that, Siraj (11 runs) and Manav Suthar (24) were also dismissed with insignificant contributions.
If there is more rain, the chances of a draw will be higher
In the first 2 days in this match, the first innings of the Indian team was not even completed. However, the major reason for this was not being able to bowl the stipulated 90-90 overs on both days. As the number of overs decreases due to rain, the chances of a result also decreases. If it rains in the coming days too, the chances of a draw will increase.
