Day 2 Recap

Dhammika Prasad is carrying Sri Lanka on his shoulders

Live Cricket Score, India vs Sri Lanka: Dhammika Prasad grabbed four wickets on Day 2 put Indians in a spot of bother.

It’s a couple of days before the third Test, and Dhammika Prasad has just arrived for his team’s practice. You find him right outside the memorabilia store, which is located right next to the gate at the SSC. Prasad is holding court for a couple of Sri Lanka Cricket staff and he has them in splits, which generally is the case whenever the burly Sri Lankan fast bowler is in his element.

Cheteshwar Pujara is a hero India deserves, but doesn’t always need

There was hardly much of a difference between the two deliveries. They were angled in from around-the-wicket by Rangana Herath, with the ball eventually reaching the right-hander’s pads, around his knees. And the respective responses of Cheteshwar Pujara and Rohit Sharma were not too dissimilar either, with both flicking it to the deep square-leg fielder for a single.

With his tight technique and a cool temperament, Cheteshwar Pujara has an assuring presence at the crease, former captain Sunil Gavaskar said in praise of the young batsman, who rescued India with his century.
