The second day of the final Test of the India and Sri Lanka series will be remembered for a long period, not because of Virat Kohli's sixth double century but for the unusual oxygen break taken by the Sri Lankan team. During India’s first innings when they were at 519/5, Lahiru Gamage was seeing coughing and appeared to have had trouble breathing which resulted in three back to back breaks that accounted for almost twenty minutes playing time. The former Indian skipper lashed out the players for their behavior during the game.

"Virat Kohli and the team management saw that the game is going away from their hands, they are losing time and they declared. Virat lost his concentration, the purpose of the game and got out. But when they (Sri Lanka) came out to bat, I didn't see any mask on all of those five batsmen who were at the crease. Nobody had the mask and if you look at the pavilion they were sitting in, there was no mask either. So, I don't know how everything changed in such a quick time. If Gamage and Lakmal were running it with a mask, even Angelo Mathews was running for ones and twos. It's the same thing. What surprised me is that they never complained, wore the mask or made a show off it. That's the worrying bit and I hope the intentions were not bad," Ganguly added.
