Internet Desk: While Varuna is on a roll, the Sri Lanka - India (IND vs SL) first test result is all over the place. Team India needs only six wickets.. Sri Lanka still needs 288 runs. Today is the last day of the game. Generally, after seeing such statistics, it is believed that the Indian team is the winner. But, the worry of when the rain will come is now making the fans tense. In this order, famous cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle criticized Team India's gameplan. He said that they should play more aggressively in the second innings.
''I don't understand the strategy followed by India in the last 40 minutes of their second innings. They wasted time not scoring big runs for a long time. The weather is unpredictable. In this case, it seems that India took a bit more time to bat in the second innings. Even so, it does not mean that he has run," Bhogle posted. It is known that Team India was bowled out for 193 runs in its second innings. With this, India set a target of 372 runs for Sri Lanka including the first innings lead of 178 runs. Sri Lanka were 84/4 at the end of the fourth day.
