India vs Sri Lanka 1st Test: KL Rahul Retires Hurt with Cramps, Gill Joins Padikkal in the Middle
Rahul’s 150-run stand with Devdutt Padikkal put India in control before cramps forced him off the field.
- On Saturday, Indian opener KL Rahul retired hurt on 77 against Sri Lanka in Galle before the final session, leaving the field due to worsening hand cramps with Shubman Gill replacing him.
