The Story in Brief
Ravindra Jadeja mimicked Kuldeep Yadav's bowling action during India's warm-up against Sri Lanka Cricket XI in Colombo on Saturday, leaving head coach Gautam Gambhir in splits. The incident added humour to India's preparations ahead of the Test series beginning August 15 at Galle.
Jadeja earlier took 2/64 and later scored 63 off 117 balls before retiring out. Kuldeep claimed 2/76. India ended Day 2 on 357/6, trailing the SLC XI by six runs.
The Indian Opinion
Teams that laugh together play better together, goes the saying, and Gambhir's visible enjoyment of Jadeja's antics suggests a relaxed camp. The usual narrative around Indian cricket swings wildly between intense pressure and complacency. This moment reminds us that preparation need not be grim to be effective. The real test begins on August 15. Will this camaraderie translate into a strong series win?
