India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 2nd Test, Day 4: 5 things we learnt from the day

#5 Karunaratne's fourth innings antics go missing

Dimuth Karunaratne is probably Lanka's most stable Test batsman at the moment

Karunaratne has a rather unique pattern of scoring in Test cricket. He averages 39.69 and 43.00 in the third and fourth innings of Test matches, where most batsmen struggle to get it up to 35. This includes four centuries and eight half-centuries. In contrast to this, his second innings average is below 20, surprising given the immense success he has had in the third and fourth innings'.

At Nagpur, though, the firefighter failed to rally together his colleagues and make India sweat. He inside edged Ravindra Jadeja's delivery to forward short-leg and departed for 18 in 45 balls. His wicket, as expected, triggered a collapse as Lanka sunk further at Nagpur.
