Crosswinds at Galle complicate India vs Sri Lanka contest
Cricket
India and Sri Lanka's contest in Galle is being affected by tricky crosswinds, the Times of India reported on August 14, 2026.
The report said India's spinners face a challenge adapting to the conditions because the venue's location beside the ocean influences the ball's drift significantly.
Former players in the piece said spinners must adjust quickly to utilise the wind effectively, and it noted that young spinner Manav Suthar's rhythmic action could prove instrumental for India.
