It’s official: SA on India’s mind

-- 22 November,2017

Kolkata, November 22
In June, during the Champions Trophy in the UK, a short, wiry, belligerent Sri Lankan player had been very upset over what he perceived to be dishonour for his team. The same short, wiry, belligerent Sri Lankan was the best fighter in their XI yesterday, with breathtaking shots under pressure, and some chutzpah, helping his team hold on to a draw in the first Test.
In June, Niroshan Dickwella was upset because it had been said that the Indian team was not taking them seriously before their Champions Trophy match. “Playing the same level… And they think it’s a practice game!” he said after Sri Lanka beat India in London on June 8. “So we got the revenge.”
Dickwella could have the same reason to be upset during this series as well. India seem to be playing against Sri Lanka with their mind on the Test series against South Africa, which begins in the first week of January.
