Rishabh Pant now holds the key as India chase 207 against Sri Lanka XI on day three of their warm-up match. Vishwa Fernando dismissed Dhruv Jurel for 17, leaving India at a delicate stage with the second wicket down. Pant will be eager to make an impact after a long injury layoff, with the team relying on his aggressive batting to steer the chase in Colombo.
