VK and DK leads

http://cricketmanza.blogspot.com/2013/06/vk-and-dk-leads.html Done India 337 for 5 (Kohli 144, Karthik 106*) beat Sri Lanka 333 for 3 (Dilshan 84, Kusal Perera 82) by five wickets.
If it was a stand of 186 in 140 balls between Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik that provided most obvious cause for Indian joy, as it helped them fight back in a match that had appeared to be sliding inexorably towards Sri Lanka, perhaps it was more subtle factors that will be of long-term relevance. Even if India had lost this game, they might have been justified in leaving Edgbaston in good spirits, for this match did provide hints that some of the pre-conceptions about this tournament may be misplaced.
