KL Rahul’s stellar 77-run knock hit a physical wall during the Galle Test. Severe muscle spasms forced him to retire hurt as cramps migrated from his forearm to his legs.

However, coach Sitanshu Kotak confirms the vice-captain is recovering fast. Rahul is expected to return on Day 2, ready to reinforce India’s dominant 288/2 position. No structural damage—just pure grit.
