The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Fans are already calling Rishabh Pant a comeback hero, but one warm-up innings does not prove resilience. The real test will be how he handles short-pitched bowling and five days of Test cricket in Sri Lanka. Until he scores a fifty under pressure, the hype is just that: hype.
