"After that Test, we decided that using footwork against Herath was very important. Throughout against him and their spinners, we wanted to use our feet so we could get more runs on the back foot. Ashwin even has had the 'audacity' to test his newfound love for leg-spinners here. We know that if they play sweep shot it's good for us, as we have a chance to get wickets," felt Rahane. It bailed the team out of a tricky situation at 133 for three on Day One.
