1st Test: Need To Stick To Plans From Ball One To Stay Alive In WTC Final Race, Says Chandimal
Senior Sri Lanka: Senior Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal admitted that his team's bowling unit was ‘on and off’ on day one of the ongoing first Test against India, adding that disciplined execution from ball one is vital if the hosts are to harbour hopes of winning the crucial two-match series and stay alive in the race of the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
Sri Lanka struggled to maintain consistent pressure despite the pitch offering occasional sharp turn for the spinners at the Galle International Stadium. It meant left-hander Devdutt Padikkal hit a stroke-filled, unbeaten 131 off 178 balls and took India to a commanding 288/2 in 73 overs in the landmark 600th Test match for the visitors.
“It was a tough day for us. The pitch, it was like a normal day one pitch at Galle. Credit goes to India batters, they were outstanding throughout the day yesterday. But, still, we have to bowl in the right areas, so if we can do that, we can come in good,” Chandimal said in a chat with broadcasters ahead of day two’s play, which has been delayed due to rain.
