The JK-Tyre and TVS Motorsport-supported driver finished fifth fastest in the morning session of Day 2 but lost his place in the standings after his car was found to be underweight by 1 kg and penaliised.

He dominated the next two sessions with impressive drives on both days. The testing will conclude on Saturday with the evening session at 20:00 (GMT+5:30).

The Indian had finished 10th on Day 1 of the testing.
