India Under-19 were trailing by 142 runs with eight wickets in hand at stumps on Day 1 of the second four-day match against Sri Lanka Under-19, after spinning the opposition out for 212.

Earlier, after SL U19 opted to bat first, pacer Atul Singh provided early breakthroughs by claiming the hosts’ openers, while Pankaj Jaiswal dismissed Sadeera Samarawickrama to leave SL on 75 for the loss of three wickets. Yadav then ran through the rest of the line-up, while Aamir Gani chipped in with the wicket of Priyamal Perera, who presented some late resistance lower down the order with a 68-ball 36. Even as wickets fell in quick succession, No.3 bat, Kavindu Kulasekara held up one end with a gritty knock to help the home team past the 200-run mark. His run in the middle was finally ended for 84 off 180 balls, when Yadav trapped the batsman leg-before.
In response, the Indian colts were 70 for the loss of two wickets. The visitors lost both their openers with 59 runs on the board. Akhil Herwadkar was the first to be sent back for eight by AK Tyronne, while Shubham Khajuria was dismissed for 36 by Chamika Karunaratne. When play ended, Vijay Zol and Sanju Samson were batting on 12 and five respectively.

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. 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 ...
