  "account": "Former India cricketer Mohammed Kaif expressed disappointment in Rishabh Pant's dismissal during the second day's play of the Test match in Galle. Kaif criticized Pant's shot selection and lack of common sense in his approach, stating that the wicket-keeper's actions were a clear breach of Test match tradition. India had made a strong start to their second innings at 288 for two, but the collapse that followed saw them surrender seven wickets before stumps, finishing the day at 460 for nine. Despite the turbulent conditions and the loss of several wickets, India remained in a favorable position, thanks to a solid performance from No. 3 Devdutt Padikkal who scored a maiden Test century.",
