Jurel credited teammate Rishabh Pant for his guidance while at the crease, with the pair putting on a century partnership early on the second day to help India take control of the match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know Pant is such a terrific player and what he has done for India in Australia and England. So, whenever he is in, I only seek his advice, because he has so much experience. So, I always ask him for advice as, what I should do in a particular situation,” Jurel said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you can see, Test cricket has different ways of playing, and it makes the game beautiful. When you play with Pant, it\u2019s a very terrific experience. I can\u2019t play like him, the way he has been playing since childhood. My game plan is to see which bowler should I take down, which spell should I play, and I always ask Pant because he is a wicketkeeper, I am a wicketkeeper, and we play in the middle order, so it\u2019s a very good experience.”<\/p>\n
Pacer Asitha Fernando (4\/106) was the pick of the Sri Lanka bowlers with four wickets, while Prabath Jayasuriya (2\/132) and Keshara Nuwantha (2\/154) each collected two.<\/p>\n
“I am pleased with my effort and I must mention Lahiru and got a big support from him,” Fernando said at stumps.<\/p>\n
“But I would have been happier had we got them out for lesser.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jurel credited teammate Rishabh Pant for his guidance while at the crease, with the pair putting on a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1168197,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,145387,145385,56086,145400,145396,145399,145397,11096,145398,145395,145401,145407,145406,145388,2192,145405,145390,145389,30566,145393,145394,145403,79,145402,145404,145392,145386,145391,16,15],"class_list":["post-1168196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-cricket-breaking-news","tag-cricket-headlines-today","tag-cricket-live-score","tag-cricket-match-highlights-today","tag-cricket-match-live-streaming-score","tag-cricket-match-result-today","tag-cricket-match-today-live","tag-cricket-news","tag-cricket-results-today","tag-cricket-scorecard-live","tag-cricket-series-updates","tag-cricket-world-cup-live-score","tag-cricket-world-cup-news","tag-cricket-world-news","tag-icc","tag-icc-cricket-updates","tag-international-cricket-live-score","tag-international-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-news","tag-latest-cricket-scores","tag-live-cricket-match-update","tag-odi-cricket-live-score","tag-sports","tag-t20-cricket-live-score","tag-test-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-live-score","tag-today-cricket-news-update","tag-todays-cricket-match-score","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1168196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1168196"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1168196\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1168197"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1168196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1168196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1168196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
