High-scoring chases good for cricket, says Jayasuriya after Sri Lanka’s Rawalpindi heroics

Sanath Jayasuriya expressed enthusiasm for the evolving nature of one-day cricket, noting that modern batters are displaying increased boldness during high-scoring matches. He specifically pointed to a recent encounter in Pakistan where England set a target of 430 runs, only for Sri Lanka to successfully chase it down with a single ball remaining.

Jayasuriya believes this momentum will serve the Sri Lankan squad well during their upcoming tour of India. Additionally, the former coach praised Abhishek Sharma for his versatile batting skills and aggressive style, which he observed during the player's recent performance against New Zealand.
