Indian Batting: India could setup and strong batting line up after a long time. By analyzing the previous matches both Test and ODI, you could understand easily what their roles were. Even in the last match, early wicket drop could not get any pressure to overcome a big score of 250 runs despite of Indians hard hitter batsmen V Sehwag kept rest due to injury.
V Sehwag is fit to assist the opener G Gambhir. V Sehwag has played 33 matches against Sri Lanka home and abroad where he was unbeaten in 2 innings. He contributed 910 from his bat by hitting 124 fours and 11 sixes. He has played his 50percent ODI matches alongside Sri Lankan.
All the batsmen played well in the first ODI match at Dambulla except Sachin Tendulkar. G Gambhir 62 runs from 105ball by a strong partnership with SK Raina. Punjab left arm cricketer Yuvraj Singh (23) skipper MS Dhoni (61 not out) and RG Sharma 25. No doubt that it a very strong batting line-up that could bring second win of the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka .

KC Sangakkara is another strongest pillar of Sri Lanka batting side. He contributed 44 runs pairing with Sanath Jayasuriya during the pressure. All-rounder MF Maharoof’s responsible batting helps to build a fighting score. But captain DPMD Jayawardene failed totally to do well.
Only Indian blower Ishant Sharma protected the Sri Lankan batsmen and added 3 wickets in his personal career. Others bowlers of both team was totally fail to build any strong barrier.
