Jurel completed his 2nd Test century in his 12th Test with a single off Asitha Fernando off 171 balls in the final session on the second day, which was interrupted by rain

The wicketkeeper also became only the second Indian batter after all-rounder Hardik Pandya to complete a hundred from No. 7 or lower in Sri Lanka. Pandya had scored 108 against Pallekelle back in 2017

Jurel ended the innings unbeaten on 115 not out off 177 balls with two sixes and 9 fours in the innings. Devdutt Padikkal was the other centurion of the innings, scoring 117 on the opening day on Sunday.

Earlier, Jurel was unbeaten on 95 when rain ended the second session early as teams headed into tea with India at 475 for 8.

He added 112 runs for the sixth wicket with Rishabh Pant, who scored 63 in 88 balls with 2 sixes and six fours.
