India miles ahead on Day 1 of 2nd Ind vs Sl Test

Shreyas Iyer’s 92 takes India to 252
Earlier in the day, India finished their innings at 252 all thanks to a brilliant 92 from Shreyas Iyer which he scored in just 98 balls. All other Indian batters were not able to cope with the spin that the pitch offered. Rishabh Pant scored 39 off 26 balls and apart from him and Iyer, Hanuma Vihari, who scored 31 was the only Indian batter that seemed like getting the hang of the pitch by any stretch.
For Sri Lanka, spinners Praveen Jayawickrama and Lasith Embuldeniya picked three wickets each after going for a lot of runs.
