Akila Dananjaya polished off five wickets in just 13 balls to peg India back in the second ODI at Pallekele. Like Mendis, Akila Dananjaya has become an overnight sensation, after his 6/54 against India at Pallekele on Thursday. Unlike Mendis, Sri Lanka’s new ‘spin doctor’ has had his ups and downs quite early in his career. He directly made the grade, Sri Lanka’s World T20 squad, because Mahela Jayawardene was impressed with his variations. Will ask the captain… Captain on the field has a gut feeling; how he is going to use his bowlers.
