Third Test: Sri Lanka trail by 405 runs against India on Day 2
New Delhi, Dec 3 (IANS) Sri Lanka reached 131/3 trailing by 405 runs after India declared their first innings at 536 for seven on the second day, which was marred by complaints of air pollution, during their third and final Test at the Ferozshah Kotla ground here on Sunday.
Captain Virat Kohli hit his career-highest score of 243 as he shared a 135-run stand for the fifth wicket with Rohit Sharma (65) to power India to a big total.
Sri Lanka complained of poor air quality and hazy condition after two players – Lahiru Gamage and Suranga Lakmal had to go off. Both seemed to be struggling with their breathing.
At the end of the second day’s play, Angelo Mathews (57 not out) and Dinesh Chandimal (25 not out) were at the crease for Sri Lanka. Dilruwan Perera contributed 42 for the visiting side.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
