Five positives Sri Lanka can take from the Test series against India

#1. Angelo Mathews' reliable batting

Mathews can solidify Sri Lanka's batting unit with his experience

It was a frustrating Test series for Angelo Mathews. He began the series as a specialist batsman as injuries prevented him from bowling. But he couldn't deliver the performances he was expected to as the most experienced campaigner in the side.

Even then, he is Sri Lanka's one of the most prominent positive points to emerge from the series. Although there were no big scores, Mathews did manage to score some impressive knocks.

He scored 83 runs in the first innings of the Galle Test and was looking good for a hundred before he lost his focus. In the subsequent five innings, he had three scores of 26, 36, and 35 which display his batting prowess.

Sri Lanka must be relieved to see that their most experienced campaigner is in good touch and can be relied upon in future games.
