Same here. He has such terrible technique, can only bat on flat pitches or when protected down the order, but is such an explosive slogger that he keeps getting picked.
Wow,Vijay really is becoming the big asset for us.He holds stead and fires when needed.He knew Kohli was a bit down today and if he didn't play on through the session,the team would collapse.
Perfect & Sensible batting.
Of note during Sri Lanka's innings, Sangakkara became the 11th batsman in Test history to score 10000+ runs against the top 8 teams. Of the 11, only Kallis has a higher average.
