In the first test between India and SL, Sri Lanka gave themselves a minimum of 135 overs and an ample cushion of runs to try and register their first Test win in India, but the Ahmedabad pitch got deader and deader with every passing minute. Gautam Gambhir got into long-innings mode, reminiscent of his match-saving effort in Napier earlier this year.
Sri Lanka seemed a little unsettled by a charmed innings from Virender Sehwag who survived his own ambitious mindset to score an aggressive half-century. The Sri Lankan fast bowlers failed to replicate the swing they got in the first innings.
The First Test belong to Batsman and the pitch also. There was no such turn on the pitch for the bowler to get rid. For the result oriented Test match the pitch must have the balance for both the bwoler and the Batsman.
