The sound of pink-ball thudding into well-crafted bats reverberated around the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on a warm Thursday afternoon that segued into a pleasant evening. It’s been nearly 26 months since an international game was played at the venue; the India v Australia ODI in January 2020 is but a distant memory, but the long wait for a slice of action will come to an end on Saturday when Rohit Sharma’s men lock horns with Sri Lanka in the second and final Test.
Much of the attention in the lead-up to the first Test in Mohali had centred around Rohit and the man he succeeded as Test skipper, Virat Kohli. After all, it was the Mumbaikar’s first five-day game as the Indian captain, while his predecessor was making his 100th Test appearance. India celebrated the occasion in grand style, romping to an innings and 222 runs victory inside three days to haul their stuttering World Test Championship campaign back on track.
