India vs Sri Lanka | Twitter reacts to Shikhar Dhawan's fiery innings and Cheteshwar Pujara's composure
India finished the first day of the Galle Test in a commanding position with 399/3 on the board thanks to a fiery innings from Shikhar Dhawan (190) and a calm and composed Cheteshwar Pujara (144*). The Twitterati, however, trolled Abhinav Mukund for missing out on yet another chance.

Ah, a reference about the SL national anthem after a long time.
Even Sri Lanka's National Anthem lasted longer than Abhinav Mukund's batting. #SLvIND

Thankfully, there was no rain today. But with SL, you never know!
Genius cricket boards arrange a cricket series in the subcontinent during monsoons. #SLvIND

This also means that we have to sleep through the entire Test match
When Pujara is in good form, he makes sure India doesn't bat twice in the same test match.

Every true Cricket fan can relate to this
Small time pleasures: Having your evening tea and watching Rahane & Pujara bat together in a test match.

Never change, Russel Arnold. Never change.
Russell Arnold has just said, "A draw will be a win from here..."
