India vs Sri Lanka 2017: 5 lessons India should learn from Eden Test

#3 Seam bowling is an art in helpful conditions

Patience holds the key

"When we were watching how Sri Lanka were bowling, we were excited to bowl on that wicket. We tried too hard and could have stopped a few runs but the only thing we could have done is we could have been patient," Bhuvneshwar Kumar told reporters after India's bowling effort in the first innings.

Once again, the virtue of patience rears its head and it is applicable not only to the batsmen but also to the bowlers.

There is no denying the quality of the Indian bowling, but they will have to understand that setting up the batsmen and then getting their scalp is an art and merely bowling magic balls is not the way to pick up wickets.
