Sri Lanka’s head coach Gary Kirsten is well versed with the finer nuances of Indian cricket, having spent three years with the team and having guided MS Dhoni’s side to the 2011 ODI World Cup title, yet the South African is reluctant to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Shubman Gill-led visitors who will take on the Lankans in a two-Test series, starting in Galle on Saturday.

“I’m not here to judge the Indian team. We’re just trying to focus on our strengths, what we can do well in the Test match, make sure we prepare well and understand what we want to do. Let the game unfold; the conditions will determine the way we set up our strategies and also the situation in the game. We back our skills to be able to take advantage of that momentum,” Kirsten told mid-day during a virtual interaction with select media, organised by Sony Sports Network on Thursday.
