The Story in Brief
In the final over of Day 2 of the warm-up match against Sri Lanka Cricket XI, a left-handed Indian batsman smashed spinner Dilum Sudeera for four sixes in five deliveries, posting 6, 6, 0, 6, 6. Head coach Gautam Gambhir's reaction to the hitting has gone viral online. The match is India's final practice game before the series.
The Indian Opinion
Cheering a warm-up blitz is natural, but one over against a little-known spinner does not prove much. Too often, exhibition knocks are mistaken for real form. The batsman must show consistency when the series begins. Until he faces quality bowling under match pressure, stay measured. The first competitive innings will settle this.
