The Shubman Gill-led Indian team is cruising towards a well-deserved Test series victory over Sri Lanka in the Island Nation. After winning the first Test by six wickets, India had an outstanding start to the decider, scoring 503 runs in their first innings, riding on Dhruv Jurel's sensational century. 

The tourists created an instant impact with the ball as well, dismissing Sri Lanka's four players- Lahiru Udara, Kamil Mishara, nightwatchman Prabath Jayasuriya and Kamindu Mendis in 30 overs before the lunch break on day 3. 

However, as soon as the players went back to the dugout after the completion of the 1st session, rain arrived at the Sinhalese Sports Club, forcing the ground staff to put the entire stadium under covers. On that note, here's a detailed dive into the Colombo weather report for day 3 of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test at the Sinhalese Sports Club.
