Hanuma Vihari and Virat Kohli further solidified India's position, registering half-centuries and forging a crucial partnership.
Sri Lankan Bowlers Struggle to Contain Indian Batting

Lunch Update: India 189/3 after 60 overs
At the lunch interval, India had amassed 189 runs for the loss of three wickets, with Kohli standing unbeaten on 67 and Rishabh Pant contributing a quick-fire 30 not out. The Indian team looks well-positioned to continue its dominance in the second session.
Sri Lanka Desperate for Wickets
Sri Lanka's bowlers will need to step up and find ways to break the flourishing partnership between Kohli and Pant. If India manages to extend its lead further, Sri Lanka's hopes of a competitive total may dwindle.
Possible strategies for Sri Lanka include:
- Introducing spin options to challenge the Indian batters
- Maintaining tight line and length to induce false strokes
- Capitalizing on any lapses in concentration from the Indian batsmen
The remainder of the first day's play promises to be captivating as India looks to press its advantage, while Sri Lanka aims to salvage its position in the match.
