STORY | Dhruv Jurel's 95 leads India to 475/8 against Sri Lanka as rain forces early tea
Dhruv Jurel’s remarkably composed unbeaten 95 helped India reach 475 for eight at tea on day two of the second and final Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Monday.
Jurel was batting with Mohammed Siraj, who is yet to open his account when the tea was taken early because of rain.
The middle session, in fact, did not start well for India as they lost Rishabh Pant (63) immediately upon the resumption.
Pant, who added 112 runs for the sixth wicket with Jurel, uppishly drove Keshara Nuwantha to Lahiru Udara at the perimeter of the circle, abruptly cutting short his stay.
Jurel was on 59 then, but found an equally hard-minded partner in Manav Suthar (18) with whom he added 54 runs for the eighth wicket.

VIDEO | Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir: One year after the deadly attack that killed 26 people, including local pony operator Adil Hussain Shah, his family says they continue to feel his absence every moment, even as they hold on to a sense of pride amid the unbearable loss.
VIDEO | Srinagar: A 50 paisa coin, now rarely seen in circulation, has captured attention after fetching Rs 17,000 at an auction held during a donation drive for war-hit Iran.
Emotional scenes unfolded at the Mir Behri locality of Dal Lake when a five-year-old boy donated his piggy bank, which included the 50 paisa coin. The child’s gesture drew appreciation from local resident Javed Ahmad Sufi, who said it reflected the kindness of giving up cherished possessions, no matter how small.
“Trump, Look them in the eyes”. The most powerful front page headline in years.
The Tehran Times dedicated it's yesterday's front page to the schoolgirls who were killed in the US-Israeli airstrike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ Elementary School in Minab, southern Iran.
Thank you CENTCOM for admitting that you are using our neighbors' territory to deploy HIMARS systems against our people, apparently including a desalination plant.
Nobody should complain if our powerful missiles destroy these systems wherever they are in retribution.
These are graves being dug for more than 160 innocent young girls who were killed in the US-Israeli bombing of a primary school. Their bodies were torn to shreds.
This is how "rescue" promised by Mr. Trump looks in reality.
From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood.
Selective mourners stay silent when the US and Israel, their masters, kill over 100 Iranian elementary school girls. As if those lives never mattered. Yet they boast of caring about Iranian lives.
Remember the Bollywood thriller Jigra, in which a sister risks everything to save her brother. Actress Celina Jaitly is doing it in real life. Her brother, a retired Special Forces officer, has been in UAE detention for 17 months. No clarity. No answers on why. She left an abusive marriage, her home, her children, her security everything to fight for him. This isn’t reel, this is real. Here is an exclusive conversation with her.

Modiji is truly the greatest Prime Minister. He’s the first PM who never goes to the toilet during party meetings.
@AmitShah, how about testing this legendary bladder capacity in a press conference with Karan Thapar?
From 56-inch chest to 56-inch bladder, we have come a long way!
Israel’s attack on Iran is yet another brazen act by a state that appears to have gone rogue. The silence of the global community particularly Western powers led by the United States is both alarming and telling. This silence amounts to tacit approval. In the case of India-Pakistan tensions, the U.S. never fails to assert that its intervention has been crucial in preventing escalation. Yet when it comes to Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza or its latest strike on Iran that same urgency is conspicuously missing. These glaring double standards endangers global peace and stability. Equally disturbing is the deafening silence of the so called Muslim countries, who remain shamelessly non-existent in the face of such grave injustice. Their inaction is not just disappointing it’s a betrayal of the very causes they claim to stand for.
VIDEO | Operation Sindoor: Jammu and Kashmir CM Omar Abdullah (@OmarAbdullah) says, "I'm not a beater of war drums. I don't want a war. Nobody wants war. I don't think there's anybody sitting in the Government of India who wants this situation to escalate into a war. Please remember, we did not provoke this. We have responded to a provocation. Now it is for Pakistan to realise that our response was limited to what happened to us in Pahalgam. They must be careful not to escalate things beyond control."
