Jangoo’s innings anchored the West Indies response and featured a mix of patience and controlled aggression as he built long partnerships at the crease. He reached the milestone double century in composed fashion, capitalising on a favourable batting surface and disciplined shot selection. His effort formed the backbone of the West Indies’ total and ensured sustained pressure on the Sri Lankan bowling attack throughout the day.

He was well supported by Roston Chase, who compiled a fluent 194 in a major partnership that further strengthened West Indies’ dominance in the match. The pair shared a significant stand that blunted Sri Lanka’s bowling plans and accelerated the scoring rate at key stages. Sri Lanka struggled to find consistent breakthroughs, leaving the hosts firmly in control as the innings progressed.
