India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test: Rishabh Pant's record-breaking fifty helped India take the lead of 342 runs against Sri Lanka in the 2nd innings of the Pink Ball Test at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Resuming the session at 61/1, Rohit Sharma and Hanuma Vihari continued to score actively. The duo survived a few close calls but kept looking for runs. Rohit ran out of luck when he was on 46 as he stepped down the track to smash a six only to get caught at the boundary.
Three overs later, Vihari too got out trying to sweep Praveen Jayawickrama. Two overs later, Jayawickrama struck again and trapped Virat Kohli in front. Kohli got out for 13 which also resulted in his test average falling below 50 for the first time since 2017.
