Shastri resolute on attacking mindset

Ashwin not wearing armguard was a major moment. Even after Mishra went for an armguard, Ashwin didn't fully knowing what he was facing. One ball crashing into his arm and India could kiss this series goodbye. I was very nervous watching him play those hooks late without an arm guard.

Same also goes for Kaushal and Herath, upon whom SL's entire bowling fate hangs on. If Yadav had pinged Kaushal more accurately, blood might very well have flown.. literally. As for Ashwin, he's never quite comfortable playing those hooks and pulls, but I have never seen him hit or close to it; his positioning is quite decent although the timing is not accurate.
