Sri Lanka Under-19 pulled off a draw against India Under-19 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium final day, after being asked to follow-on in the first of the two four-day matches of the series.
Sri Lanka were trailing by 268 runs with five wickets in hand in the first innings at the end of third day’s play. They were then bowled out, after adding just 21 runs on the fourth morning. Ramesh Mendis and Kavindu Kulasekara returned without adding to their overnight total, dismissed by Atul Singh in the second over of the day.
Sniffing a victory, the Indian colts enforced follow-on. However, the hosts rallied on to finish the game on 264 for the loss of nine wickets in the second innings with a 17-run lead to deny the visitors a win.   (Also Read: Sri Lanka U19 vs India U19, Day 3 - Report | India U-19 Tour Sri Lanka)

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. 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.

As the longest serving and illustrious cricketer of modern times — 199 Tests in 24 years of Test cricket — Sachin Tendulkar has had the pleasure of having more teammates than any of his contemporaries such as Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Brian Lara. (Also Read:  Sachin Tendulkar's 200 facts ) Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 against Pakistan and hence held a six-year lead over the Australian Ponting and South African Kallis and almost a seven-year lead against fellow Indian middle order batsman Dravid. He began his international career one year before Lara.
