Sri Lanka’s left-arm orthodox spinner Prabath Jayasuriya believes the toss was crucial in the context of the opening Test match against India here as the pitch is deteriorating fast and won’t get easy to bat on. 

Jayasuriya (4-109) was the pick of the Sri Lanka bowlers as India piled on 460-9 at stumps on Day Two. However, he believes it will be a challenge for his batting teammates to reach India’s mark.
