Wickets of Sangakkara and Jayawardene is key’

Colombo, August 06: Flamboyant opener Virender Sehwag today said it is imperative for India to get rid of prolific batsmen Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene early tomorrow to stand a chance in the third cricket Test.

Sehwag, who cracked his 21st century and also scalped two crucial wickets, was pleased by his performance today.

“I am very lucky to score hundred and get two wickets.

Hopefully we will do well tomorrow also and try to win this Test match,” Sehwag told reporters at a press conference.

“We are bowling in good areas, we are getting help from the wicket. In the morning tomorrow, if we get Mahela and Sanga out early, then I think we will be in the game.

“But we must bowl tight because me must not concede too many runs and yet take wickets regularly.
