Suthar made an immediate impact on his Test debut, taking 4-76, while Jadeja claimed 3-57 and reached 350 Test wickets. India secured a commanding 178-run first-innings lead after posting 462, with Devdutt Padikkal scoring 167. Sri Lanka slipped to 90/5 before Sonal Dinusha and Niroshan Dickwella revived the innings with a 146-run partnership.
