Shikhar Dhawan:
Pretty much like Mukund, Dhawan made it into the side thanks to a recurring wrist injury to Murali Vijay. With a fluent knock of 41 on his back in the warm up game, the recent form does favour Dhawan. A flat deck will surely suit Dhawan’s strength and like Mukund, this could well be his final chance in this form of the game. The last time he played a Test in Sri Lanka, it was right here in Galle, where he made a fine hundred.
