Shreyas Iyer, who had replaced Samson in the middle, helped strengthen the visitors’ position, before being removed for 65. The rest of the lower order also contributed vital runs to the total, until India declared their innings and asked SL U19 to bat with a mountainous score behind them. 
The Indian colts then dealt an early blow by claiming opener and SL captain Kusal Mendis for six. Atul Singh trapped Mendis leg-before to stamp India’s domination, until bad light interrupted play.
When play was called off, SL U19 were 24 for one with Hashan Dumindu and Kavindu Kulasekara at the crease.

At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
