Rain Threat Looms Over First Test Between India and Sri Lanka

The first Test between India and Sri Lanka in Galle has been disrupted by persistent rain. India reached 101/1 before the weather interrupted play, with KL Rahul scoring 32 and Devdutt Padikkal remaining unbeaten on 35. The Indian team will be hoping for clear conditions to build a strong first-innings total.

Further rain could prove costly for India, especially with their World Test Championship final qualification hopes at stake. If significant playing time is lost, the Test could potentially end in a draw, making every remaining session crucial for both teams.
