1st Test, Day 1: Rishabh Pant's 96 Takes India To 357/6 At Stumps vs Sri Lanka

Rishabh Pant blazed away to a 97-ball 96 to power India to 357 for six on the opening day of the first Test against Sri Lanka on Friday. Pant hit nine boundaries and four sixes in his whirlwind knock that was put to an end by medium pacer Suranga Lakmal. Virat Kohli missed out on a half-century in his landmark 100th Test as he was bowled out for 45 by left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya after he shared a 90-run stand with Hanuma Vihari, who played a fine 58-run knock.

Rishabh Pant's Blazing Knock Ends In Heartbreak, Misses Hundred By A Whisker In 1st Test vs Sri Lanka

Rishabh Pant's blistering innings ended in a heartbreak as he fell just four short from registering his fifth hundred in the longest format on Day 1 of India vs Sri Lanka first Test at the PCA stadium in Mohali on Friday. This would have been Pant's second hundred at home and first against Sri Lanka in any condition but the left-hander was cleaned up Suranga Lakmal when he was batting on 96. The ball just came back in slightly to sneak through the gap between Pant's bat and pad. This was the fifth time Pant was dismissed in the 90s, join most with MS Dhoni among designated wicketkeepers. Understandably so, Pant was distraught. It took a while for him to make his way into the dressing room.

India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test Day 1 - "Very Impressive": Sunil Gavaskar Compares Hanuma Vihari With Team India Great

Hanuma Vihari made a good case for taking over the number 3 position in the India Test batting line-up with a measured knock on day 1 of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali. Vihari looked calm and composed as he scored a half-century, before dragging one back onto his stumps. Vihari is the only Indian top-order batter to go past the 50-run mark as the likes of Rohit Sharma (29), Mayank Agarwal (33), Virat Kohli (45) and Shteyas Iyer (27) perished after getting a start.

"You Know Your Place Isn't Secured When...": Gautam Gambhir Unhappy With India Player Mayank Agarwal

Mayank Agarwal has been in and out of the Indian Test team since making his debut in 2018. The right-handed opening batter had another opportunity to prove his worth, especially in the absence of KL Rahul, who is currently out of the team due to a hamstring injury. In the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka, Mayank opened the innings alongside skipper Rohit Sharma. Despite getting a good start, Mayank could only conjure 33 runs in the first innings.

"Question Of Where He Is Going To Slot In": Sunil Gavaskar On Shreyas Iyer's Test Hopes

Sunil Gavaskar, former Indian cricket team captain, lauded batter Shreyas Iyer for his recent heroics in the T20I series against Sri Lanka at home. Gavaskar praised Iyer's "confident" approach ever since his debut Test series against New Zealand at home last year, where he scored a superb hundred. "Yes, he (Shreyas Iyer) didn't play in South Africa, also he wasn't hundred percent fit. I think he had an ulcer in the tummy, so I am told. That's why he wasn't available for selection," said Gavaskar during a discussion on Star Sports.
