Sri Lanka vs India 2017: 3rd Test Day 3, 5 talking points

#2 Niroshan Dickwella impresses once again

Niroshan Dickwella sweeps during his impressive innings

In what was a gloomy Sri Lankan batting display, Dickwella painted an exciting picture. The youngster batted with confidence once again and looked comfortable at the crease against a high-quality Indian bowling line up.

The southpaw used the sweep shot to good effect and kept the Indian spinners at bay. His approach resulted in a lot of changes in the field as the Indian skipper Kohli looked to block off scoring avenues. But the Sri Lankan found ways to accumulate runs at a brisk pace, ending with 41 runs off 52 balls.

It remains to be seen if he converts his potential into something special or fades away like many of his countrymen.
