Openers perish early to leave India in trouble

India 2-2 (4 ovs) & 312 vs SL 201 | Scorecard


Rahane plays another maiden over from Prasad as India are yet to score from the first three overs of the innings.

Rahul gets India off the mark, from the 19th ball of the innings, as he steers Pradeep through point for two runs.

But he falls off the very next delivery. And unbelievably he falls in the same fashion as in the first innings, offering no stroke to the incoming delivery to be bowled for two.

Once again the right-hander is guilty of not covering his stumps while opting to leave the ball, which comes in sharply to strike the off-stump.

India off to a horror start as they are reduced to two for two, in the fourth over.

Captain Virat Kohli has a big task on hand with the in-form Rahane at the other end, the two most experienced batsmen in this line-up.

Kohli carefully plays out the over from Pradeep as India opt to see off the new ball without any further damage.
