India roaring against Sri Lanka

Galle, Sri Lanka, July 26: India won the toss and chose to bat against the Sri Lanka in the First test match here at Galle.

The pitch like a good surface to play on.

After a solid start from the openers, Abhinav Mukund was dismissed by Nuwan Pradeep.

Shikhar Dhawan has scored a century and has built a solid partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara, who has scored a half-century.

Riding on Shikhar Dhawan's fluent half-century and Cheteshwar Pujara's steady innings, India were 199/1 in 40 overs.

While Dhawan made full use of the opportunity, Abhinav Mukund, on the other hand, failed again, who was caught at 12 in 26 balls, which was also the lone moment of happiness for the hosts. Post his wicket, India consolidated well and are looking solid for a big score.
