India beat Sri Lanka in first Test match at Galle:
India
beat Sri Lanka by 304 runs to win the first Test match on the fourth day at
Galle & the cricketers really enjoyed the victory. A must deserving
win for India against a shaky side that needs consistency & team Sri Lanka were recently defeated at
home by Zimbabwe in ODI series.
The captain Virat Kohli praised the batting
side in the first innings of Test match that really set the tone for the
complete match. Kohli praised his two batsmen Dhawan & Pujara for their
splendid batting as both secured tons in the first innings.
Dhawan
scored 190 off just 168 balls to receive the man of the match award.
Pujara also showed a brilliant knock when his team needed it & he made 153
runs in the long format.
In the second innings that was Virat Kohli who
showed the real captain innings as he slammed a ton to help his team post a big
target.
Shikar Dhawan made 190 off 168 balls in the first innings of Test match
From
Sri Lanka side the opener Karunaratne played a brilliant innings but it was wasted
by Indians as they showed consistency while batting as they beat Sri Lanka by
304 runs. Virat Kohli’s team outplayed Herath & his team in every field to
lead the 3 match Test series 1-0.
Ravi
Shastri was recently appointed as India head coach & it is a big
reward that boys gave to their senior as they showed good cricket in every
field including batting, bowling & fielding. The wicket did not offer much
for the bowlers & team India really played well to take wickets on a track
that is not an ideal wicket for bowlers. The Indian bowlers deceived the
batsmen & they were victories on the fourth day of Test match.
Team India played superb in first Test match against Sri Lanka. India dominated from the first innings & they won the first Test match at Galle single handedly. Good Luck boys
