IND vs SL: Dravid's words of wisdom for Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanka during rain break - Hindustan Times

The former India captain was seen spending a considerable amount of time with Sri Lanka’s new limited-overs Dasun Shanaka during the rain break in India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

The latest trend of young batters not being able to cope up with slow bowlers was on show as the middle-order looked clueless against left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama (3/59 in 10 overs) and off-spinner Akila Dananjaya (3/44 in 10 overs), who, in his second spell, blew away the lower middle order with turn and bounce.

Sri Lanka won the match as they chased down the target with 48 balls to spare (DLS method).

If Shaw slog-swept Jayawickrama in front and behind square, Samson would play the inside out cover drive with effortless ease.

However, after skipper Dasun Shanaka got one to skid and trapped Shaw, Manish Pandey's (11 off 19 balls) inclusion brought about a break in momentum.

Post the break, when India resumed at 147 for three, the spinners suddenly started getting more turn and the rain had spiced up the pitch.

Hardik Pandya (17) smashed three boundaries but Jayawickrama, already pumped up with twin scalps, got another one that turned enough to square up the colourful Baroda man.
