Delhi: India had scored 300 runs for 5 wickets at stumps on the first day of the second Test against Sri Lanka being played at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo.

Former Indian opening batsman and current cricket commentator Aakash Chopra analyzed both the wickets on his YouTube channel. According to him, both KL Rahul and Shubman Gill were managing the innings, but the haste on the balls found outside the off stump spoiled their hard work.

Chopra said that Rahul was batting with patience in the beginning and he also hit some brilliant drives. after this. He tried to play a big shot on a loose ball outside the off stump and was caught behind the wicket. According to him, almost the same thing happened with Gill.

KL Rahul lost his wicket for 18 runs

KL Rahul scored 18 runs in his innings. He seemed to be slowly getting into rhythm and during this period, he also hit two good drives. However, he hit the ball outside the off stump, where the ball took the edge of his bat and went to the wicketkeeper.

Sri Lanka's Lahiru Kumara gave the first blow to India. Rahul's wicket came at a time when he was seen heading towards a big innings after spending some time at the crease.

Gill also out after half-century

On the other hand, captain Shubhman Gill batted brilliantly and scored 50 runs.

Gill also wanted to send the ball outside the off stump to the boundary line, but the ball took the edge of the bat and went behind the wicket. According to Chopra, this must have been disappointing for both the batsmen, because they needed to show composure on such balls.
