India wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel celebrated his second Test century against Sri Lanka by revealing a tattoo on his bicep reading 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan'. Jurel explained that the tribute honors his grandfather, who was a farmer, and his father, who was a soldier. His composed 115-run innings helped India recover from 307 for six to reach a total of 503 for nine declared. Jurel credited his partnership with Rishabh Pant for the team's recovery during the rain-affected match in Colombo. India ended the day by reducing Sri Lanka to 8 for two.
