3 players who impressed in India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test

The second Test between Sri Lanka and India at the Sinhalese Sports Club finished with a thrilling draw for the ages, with the home side successfully batting out just over 240 overs across two innings to save the match, ending in one of the most exciting finishes to a match in the recent past.

While India took the series 1-0 with their victory in Galle, both sides put out stellar performances, with players standing out for their teams in moments of adversity. We take a look at the players who were able to step up and make a mark for their respective teams.

Dhruv Jurel has been India's spare batter over the last few years, often finding his place in the side as an injury replacement or cover for someone else. This series saw the wicketkeeper-batter given a chance as a frontline player, which he grabbed willingly with both hands, scoring a brilliant unbeaten 115, his second century in Test cricket.

Jurel has always looked like a top player in this format with his temperament, compact set-up and range of shots. He also took the gloves in Sri Lanka's first innings due to Rishabh Pant's hand injury, finishing with a respectable series to further his case for a regular spot in the side.
