Kanpur: India Vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Today, The first jolt to the Indian juggernaut came in the form of Virender Sehwag’s scalp as the batsman was out at 131 runs from just 122 balls while trying to whack another one out of the park.
Muralitharan was his nemesis, with the tweaker finally getting rewards for his efforts of the day. However, Gautam Gambhir kept the tempo up, recording his 8th Test century in the process.
India were off to a great start with Sehwag and Gambhir hitting amazing knocks, reasserting the notion that they are the best opening pair in the world. Their stroke-play turned the scoreboard into a Tokyo taxi, with the total near the 250-run mark in a jiffy.
If the pre-lunch session had India stamped all over it, the post-lunch session was not much different either, barring the wicket of Sehwag.
It was an incredible session of play for India in the morning too, as the world’s most dangerous openers unleashed a flurry of boundaries on the islanders, rotating the strike at will.
