Walking in when the innings needed calm and control, Pavan relished the responsibility of the No.4 slot, batting with maturity beyond his years. He absorbed the pressure, paced his innings beautifully, and then shifted gears with confidence, showing both composure and class.
It was a knock that spoke of temperament, game awareness and a player growing into his role at the heart of the order. If this is Pavan settling into No.4, Sri Lanka may have found a dependable pillar for the future.
