India sri Lanka 2nd Test Day 1
India sri Lanka 2nd Test Day 1
India 417 for 2 (Gambhir 167, Sehwag, 131, Dravid 85*) v Sri Lanka
Game Plan for India: put up a score of 750 and put the maximum pressure on Sri Lanka, deny them the batting track atleast till end of 2nd day
Game Plan for Sri Lanka: Slow the run rate, go negative if required, frustrate the batsmen
It was clearly India’s most prolific Test day. A record for most runs by India on a Day. The Delhi Duo Gambhir and Sehwag each scored centuries @ Green Park stadium,Kanpur. Once the 1st Hour was negotiated it was easy sailing for India. Gautam Gambhir scored his 8th Tests century.
First time India scored over 400 in a day, Sri Lankan spinners proved ineffective. I have a feeling that it will be a easy pitch to bat on till well into the 3rd Day.
Sehwag made the most of the one reprieve that he got and Gambhir was immaculate, drawing comparison with Gavaskar from his delhi batting partner.

they are probably the most aggressive openers in test cricket at the moment, a la Gordon Grenidge and Desmond Haynes
