Opener Virender Sehwag scored a magnificent undefeated 201 as India were bowled out for 329 on the stroke of lunch on the second day of the second test against Sri Lanka on Friday.
Sehwag, resuming on 128, continued his domination of the Sri Lanka bowling from the first day while wickets tumbled at the other end with spinner Ajantha Mendis claiming career-best figures of six for 117.Sehwag became first Indian to make double century against Sri Lanka.
Except Sehwag, All the four biggies didn't showed their class & experience of years. Tendulkar, Ganguly were sent back by Vass & Dravid was trapped by Mendis. Earlier, Kumble said that Dravid will show-off all the tricks of Mendis...but on the contradictary, Mendis took the wicket of Dravid.
Laxman was the first to perish as he attempted a wristy pull but was surprised by some extra bounce and caught at mid-wicket. Dinesh Karthik (7) was pinned lbw by Mendis's straighter ball. Muttiah Muralitharan also chipped in with a couple of wickets, finishing with two for 93, as Anil Kumble was stumped and Zaheer Khan top edged a slog-sweep.
Mendis wrapped up the innings with a leg break to bowl Harbhajan Singh and a straighter ball to win an lbw shout against Sharma, who offered no stroke.
