As a lot of time on Day 2 was lost due to rain, Day 3 will be compensating for it. The play today will begin at 9:45 am. The players are all set to be in action soon. 

After his second Test century, Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel spoke on his 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisaan' tattoo following the conclusion of day two play against Sri Lanka at Colombo, calling it a tribute to his roots, with his father being a soldier and grandfather being a farmer.

"That is my story. My grandfather was a farmer and my father was a soldier. Those are my roots, where I came from, and I do not want to forget them. So that celebration was for my father and grandfather," said Jurel. 

"Both players admitted the offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Andy Pycroft of the Emirates ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for formal hearings," ICC said in a statement.

"Both players were found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator during an International Match).

India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sri Lanka seamer Asitha Fernando were on Monday fined 25 per cent of their match fee for an on-field altercation on day one of the second Test in Colombo. The duo was also handed a demerit point each.

The players were involved in a confrontation after Fernando dismissed Jaiswal in the 17th over of India's first innings. Jaiswal walked towards Fernando and the two exchanged words, following which Fernando moved his head towards Jaiswal. In response, Jaiswal leant in, resulting in their heads making contact.

Dhruv Jurel's century made him the second Indian batter after Pandya to score a Test hundred from No. 7 or lower in Sri Lanka. Hardik Pandya had scored 108 at Pallekele in 2017. The last Indian batter to score a Test century from No. 7 or lower was Nitish Kumar Reddy, who made 114 against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in December 2024.

Dhruv Jurel struck an unbeaten 115 as India declared their first innings at 503 for 9 before reducing Sri Lanka to eight for two on the second day of the second Test in Colombo Monday. The hosts trail by 495 runs. Opener Lahiru Udara (1) and Prabath Jayasuriya (2) were dismissed by Prasidh Krishna and Manav Suthar. Kamil Mishara (5 not out) was at the crease at the end of second day's play.
