Before the start of the second test between India & Srilanka in Colombo, all eyes were on Cheteshwar Pujara not only because he has been the pillar of the Indian batting in test cricket after the retirement of Stalwarts like Tendulkar, Dravid & VVS but also because he was set to play his 50th test match of his career.
After winning the toss India opted to bat as expected & the two openers – KL Rahul & Shikhar Dhawan started on a positive note especially Shikhar who continued his form from the first test and started scoring briskly. But when it looked like he was in for another big score, he fell for 35 trapped leg before to the right-arm offbreak spinner Dilruwan Perera.
