Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 2017: 1st Test day 2, 5 Talking Points

Mendis fell on 194 when trying to take on Mehedi Hasan

#3 Nirosha Dickwella entertains

Dickwella played his natural game and stroked a run-a-ball 75

Some batsmen do not change their style of batting whatever the format is. Nirosha Dickwella, Sri Lanka's wicket-keeper batsman is one such player. A flamboyant player, who relies on hand-eye coordination, Dickwella was picked as the keeper for the first Test.

The southpaw had a set Kusal Mendis for company when he walked to the wicket and proceeded to play his shots. A whipped six off Subashis Roy followed by a reverse-swept four off Shakib-al-Hasan took him past his half-century.

Dickwella was eventually dismissed for 75 off 76 balls as he tried to hit Mehedi Hasan out of the ground. The flighted delivery and line of the ball took him by surprise but he went ahead with the shot only to be caught at short third man.
