In a dramatic Galle Test, KL Rahul anchored India with a stellar 77 off 162 balls. However, severe forearm cramps forced a premature exit before the final session. While his departure shifts the tactical landscape, his “retired hurt” status keeps the door open for a heroic return. India remains in control, banking on his recovery to solidify their commanding position.
