India vs Sri Lanka: Visitors need discipline, not flash, to put up a fight in Bangalore

India vs Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka vs India, ind vs sl, sl vs ind, India vs Sri Lanka bangalore, sports news, indian express Bumrah in action.(Twitter)

With a brisk intensity, Sri Lanka’s cricketers sweated in the mild chill of the Bangalore evening. The batsmen seemed intent on polishing their defensive bearings, a letdown in the first Test in Mohali, as well as leaving the ball more judiciously outside the off-stump.

Fast bowlers probed the fuller-length more assiduously, fielders hurtled around for low, sharp catches; spinner Lasith Embuldeniya had an extended session of bowling on a specific spot, fuller length just outside the off-stump. Accuracy, after all, was an elusive virtue for the Lankans in Mohali.

The gulf of quality between the two sides was so pronounced that a quick turnaround looks unforeseeable. But the pink-ball (they even played football with a pink one), day-night quotient might just reduce the gap, give them a slight wriggle room to at least avoid a Mohali-like thrashing.
