Day 2 Mohali Test LIVE Updates: The target will be simple, get to 500 and give Sri Lanka an impossible task and bowl them out as quickly as possible. India’s two pacers — Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami — have looked in great form besides R Ashwin in Indian conditions and the trio will look to bowl out Sri Lanka within Day 3.
India’s day 1 scores batting 1st vs SL in last 5 home Tests
385/6 Ahmedabad 2009
417/2 Kanpur 2009
17/3 Kolkata 2017 (11.5 overs)
371/4 Delhi 2017
357/6 Mohali 2022 *
India still have three batsmen left in Jadeja, Ashwin and Jayant Yadav and getting to the 500-run mark won’t be difficult. Jadeja is batting on 45 while Ashwin scored 10 off 11 with Jayant yet to bat. Add Mohammed Shami and Bumrah’s batting skills to the mix, getting another 150-odd run looks achievable.
Even though the pitch has offered assistance to spinners, Sri Lanka were not able to grab that with both hands. Lasith Embuldeniya looked dangerous but Rishabh Pant took him to cleaners hammering 22 runs in one over. Other than him, Suranga Lakmal, Vishwa Fernando, Lahiru Kumara and Dhananjaya de Silva all bagged a wicket each but all of them were expensive and Indian batters looked comfortable going against them.
