How Barar's height and bounce trouble Sri Lankan batsmen

Standing at 6 ft 5 in, Barar extracts extra bounce that climbs sharply after touching the pitch. In the Galle match his deliveries rose well above the expected line, leaving the Sri Lankan batsmen uncomfortable.

Opposition batsmen struggled to adjust, especially in the second innings where Barar’s six wickets came at the cost of just 68 runs. The extra bounce, coupled with disciplined line and length, forced errors and contributed heavily to the low target set for India A.
