Guidelines About Industry Oriented Mini Project
All JNTU B-Tech III-II have to do a industry oriented mini project which is implemented by JNTU from R05 batch.
We were very confused as to what we had to do as this was only a mini project on whether we have to go to industry,scope of project etc.But as in most colleges we were given choice to a study project or kit based and this could be done in an Institute,Industry or own.Most of chose to do a study project and were given permission for this and we had to submit this report as soon as IV/I starts and had to work on project in III/II break.This project will be evaluated during IV/II.
Basically in this mini project student can take up any Industry oriented application in his/her field of interest in their respective field/branch.First one has to submit an Abstract of the project to their concerned department head (HOD) and once he approves it ,he will assign a project guide to the individual or batch after this project work is to be started. Generally batch for a mini project may have 1 to 3 members in it.
Impotant Points:
1. There is no page limit only thing to be considered is that concept is complete.
2. One must acquire all data and concepts related to one's project.
3. The Format Guidelines given by respective Dept.heads for report layout.
4. Project should have good idustry oriented applications.
The below info will give you the complete & detailed description of the mini projects reports.
It is essential that you produce a clear and concise report that reflects the literaturesurvey, problem identification, project aims and objectives, the engineering design workcarried out, tests performed and discussion of results. The emphasis should not be on the length of the report, but rather on the way by which the above aspects are presentedIn this context, you should avoid downloading bulk text and images from books or theInternet or use unconventional fonts or graphics with a view to impressing the readerYou should rather show the reader that you have understood the problem at hand andused an engineering approach to produce a working solution by working as a team withyour group members. You should also be able to explain the working principle and design of each stage of the developed system.

JEANS AND T-SHIRT TO CHARGE CELL PHONES
In earlier experiments, Stanford scientists used what could be called ink, made up of single-walled carbon nanotubes, which are electrically conductive carbon fibers less than 1/50,000th the thickness of a human hair. So far, electronic devices have been patched onto existing fabric rather than engineered and embedded into the material.
This coating allows the fibers to conduct electricity, turning them into porous conductors. With a large surface area, a large amount of energy can be stored. At the same time, the charged clothing can theoretically withstand as many as one million full recharge cycles. The textiles also retain flexibility and stretchability of regular cotton and polyester, and retain their electronic properties even after being laundered multiple times.
Now, researchers are looking to replacing carbon nanotubes with graphene, due to its lower costs. They will also attempt to combine their technology with other materials to turn clothes into solar cells combined with batteries. It's not known how soon the techniques could translate to actual products, but they could impact the longevity of handheld devices in the near future.
JNTU-HYD : Re-revised Academic Calender of B.Tech & B.Pharmacy
JNTU-HYD Extends Academic Schedule
The authorities in a meeting held here on Saturday decided that the university examinations of II, III and IV year students which were to be held in the third week of April will now be held from May 10. The exams of first year students will begin from June 1.
D N Reddy, vice-chancellor, JNTU said that the principals of affiliated colleges of the university agreed that they would take extra classes on Saturdays to cover portions before the examinations begin.
"The college authorities have agreed to take extra classes on all Saturdays. They have also agreed to work on optional holidays to cover portions," Reddy said.
He said that some staff and faculty of JNTU and affiliated colleges will take up examination and classroom duties even during their summer vacation. The vice chancellor, however, said that the university will not bring down the required attendance percentage from 65 to 60 as was requested by the agitating students. "The students will have to have at least 65 per cent attendance to write the examinations," Reddy said.
GMAIL ENHANCED SECURITY WITH DEFAULT HTTPS
Earlier HTTPS used to be an optional option in Gtalk , which you can enable or disable from settings. Usually a normal user will never notice this setting. Today Gmail team released an update in which they are keeping HTTPS on by default. This default HTTPS settings will be very useful for non-tech users.
We are currently rolling out default https for everyone. If you’ve previously set your own https preference from Gmail Settings, nothing will change for your account. If you trust the security of your network and don’t want default https turned on for performance reasons, you can turn it off at any time by choosing “Don’t always use https” from the Settings menu.
INDIA VERSUS BANGLADESH:2 TEST
Match facts
After the verbal jousts that spiced up the contest in Chittagong, the teams arrived in Dhaka having proved their points in different ways. Virender Sehwag had called Bangladesh "ordinary", but for the first half of the match they were more than a match for the Indians. Sehwag himself would have felt vindicated by the fact that India won by 113 runs, though Bangladesh did come close to taking the 20 wickets that he thought them incapable of.
But for a magnificent century from Sachin Tendulkar, Bangladesh could have embarrassed India even further in helpful conditions on the opening day, but that inability to close out games brought back memories of Fatullah (2006) and Multan (2003), when both Australia and Pakistan were allowed to escape from losing positions. What is clear though is that the new generation of Bangladeshi cricketers, exemplified by Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim, isn't cowed down by the opposition's reputation. Having tasted victory over some of the big boys at the Under-19 level, they certainly aren't intimidated.
The next logical step is to take that confidence and translate it into runs. It was poor batting that cost them the opening game, with Mushfiqur's dashing century coming far too late in the piece to be of anything more than nuisance value. When you bowl a team out for 243, you need to do far better than respond with 242.
India, for their part, are unlikely to be as sloppy as they were in Chittagong, and they will certainly be boosted by the return of MS Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh. However, VVS Laxman's absence through injury - he has been ruled out - means the batting is a bit weaker. With Sreesanth having gone home with a hamstring strain, it wouldn't be surprising if Amit Mishra was retained after a decent showing in the first Test. It's been years since India won four Tests on the bounce, and success in Dhaka will set them up nicely for a two-match series against South Africa that will almost certainly decide which team is ranked No.1 in the world.
Watch out for...
Rahul Dravid missed out in the first Test, but has been in tremendous form over the past year, scoring two centuries against Sri Lanka and leading Karnataka into the Ranji Trophy final. In sunny conditions at the Shere Bangla Stadium, he could well book in for the sort of marathon innings that has epitomised his career.
Shakib Al Hasan shone with the ball in the opening Test, but will feel that he could have done so much more with the bat. His temperament under pressure was a huge factor in Bangladesh's triumph in the Caribbean, and he'll need to be on top of his batting game if India are to be upset in Dhaka.
Team news
Bangladesh have included the off-spinner allrounder Naeem Islam in their squad but are unlikely to tinker much after having given India a scare in Chittagong. Shahriar Nafees won't be dumped after just one failure, and an absence of quality replacements means that even the hit-and-miss Mohammad Ashraful is safe for now.
Bangladesh: (probable) 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Shahriar Nafees, 4 Mohammad Ashraful, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 6 Raqibul Hasan, 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 9 Shafiul Islam, 10 Shahadat Hossain, 11 Rubel Hossain.
Dhoni will return in place of Dinesh Karthik. M Vijay has been the first-choice replacement for India of late but there is only a middle-order spot available now that Laxman will not play. Plenty of eyes will be on Yuvraj Singh who looked completely out of sorts in Chittagong. With Harbhajan returning and Sreesanth dropping out, Mishra will keep his place.
India: (probable) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 M Vijay, 6 Yuvraj Singh, 7 MS Dhoni (capt, wk), 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Amit Mishra, 11 Ishant Sharma.
Pitch and conditions
After India piled up 610 for 3 in the first Test to be played here, the venue has seen only two totals in excess of 400. There were plenty of runs on offer during the recent tri-series and with sunshine predicted over the next five days, it should certainly be a win-toss-bat-first pitch. The seamers are unlikely to enjoy the conditions as much as they did in Chittagong.
Stats and trivia
* Gautam Gambhir has now scored centuries in each of his last five Tests. Only Sir Donald Bradman has scored six on the trot.
* India have won all three of their previous Tests in Dhaka, two of them by an innings.
* Since Aminul Islam's century took them to 400 in their inaugural Test in November 2000, Bangladesh have not managed more than 333 in an innings against India.
Quotes
"We made some mistakes at Chittagong and we'll try not to repeat those again. We are not there just to take part. We are here to compete and fight."
Tamim Iqbal says Bangladesh believe they can draw the series.
"Our openers complement each other. Gautam waits for the ball to come in his areas, Sehwag goes right from the start. Both rotate the strike really well and understand each other. In fact they can be compared with the great opening pairs."
MS Dhoni rates India's openers highly.
TOP TEN INTERNET PASSWORDS TO BE AVOIDED

Imperva, a data security firm, said it had analysed around 32 million passwords that had been exposed in a recent hack of the RockYou website.
In December last year a hacker breached the site's company database and gained access to the unencrypted usernames and passwords of all its 32 million users.
After studying the security breach Imperva has come up with a list of the most commonly used passwords which website users should avoid.
“Everyone needs to understand what the combination of poor passwords means in today’s world of automated cyber attacks: with only minimal effort, a hacker can gain access to one new account every second—or 1000 accounts every 17 minutes,” said Amichai Shulman, Imperva’s chief technical officer.
“Employees using the same passwords on Facebook that they use in the workplace bring the possibility of compromising enterprise systems with insecure passwords, especially if they are using easy to crack passwords like ‘123456’,” he added.
“The problem has changed very little over the past 20 years. It’s time for everyone to take password security seriously; it’s an important first step in data security.”
The ten most commonly used passwords analysed in the study were:
1. 123456
2. 12345
3. 123456789
4. Password
5. iloveyou
6. princess
7. rockyou
8. 1234567
9. 12345678
10. abc123

5 COOL METHODS TO MAKE FIREFOX BROWSING SMOOTHER
There’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that Mozilla Firefox is one of the best browsers out there. It also has the honor of being the biggest rival to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Part of the reason behind Firefox’s success is the fact that there is an awesome team of individuals behind it, who work around the clock to make it live up to the stringent quality standards, which are a hallmark of Mozilla.
However, there is a second, almost equally important reason as to why each version of Firefox is a runaway success. There’s virtually no limit to the amount of customization you can apply to Firefox. Most of these come in the form of extensions (small add-ons, which add to the functionality).
However, today we are going to talk about another, more covert way of customizing Firefox. All the different settings of Firefox can be accessed from one convenient location using the Firefox “About Config” hack. By typing about:config in the address bar, one can bring up a page listing all the different options. Once on that page, it’s simply a matter of double-clicking and editing those settings to make your browsing experience even better.
Here’s a list of the best, most useful Firefox about:config hacks. All these hacks can be enabled by going into about:config. In case a setting doesn’t show up in the search, just right-click and select New to create it.
Make Firefox Free Up RAM When Minimized:

Unless you have a RAM behemoth for a rig, you will know that RAM is a precious commodity. Simply put, RAM is like a container into which all applications are thrown when they are first run. The applications carry out all their processing in the RAM and then leave the RAM when they are done.
The problem arises in the way Firefox handles RAM. Most programs return unused RAM when they are minimized. Firefox, on the other hand does not do so. So, the Firefox ninjas around the world found an about:config workaround for it:
- In the “Filter” search, type: config.trim_on_minimize
- Right click on the setting and click “toggle” so that the Value turns to “true“.
From now on, Firefox will act like any other Windows app and return all unused memory when minimized.
Stop Websites From Blinding You With Blinking Text:

Some webmasters have this crazy habit of making text on their pages blink. Maybe it’s their idea of looking cool, but in reality, it’s nothing more than a major irritation. Coupled with that is the fact that it really tires your eyes. Here’s how you can change about:config to disable blinking text:
- In the “Filter” search, type: browser.blink_allowed
- Right click on the setting and click “toggle” so that the Value turns to “false“. This disables the blinking.
Paste Text With The Middle Mouse Button:

Linux users will vouch for how awesome pasting with the middle mouse button is. Now, Windows users can get the same functionality within Firefox. You guessed it! You need to go to about:config to do the following:
- In the “Filter” search, type: middlemouse.paste
- Right click on the setting and click “toggle” so that the Value turns to “true“.
Open Search Results In A New Tab:

Every now and then I come across a term on a website that I really need to research. I quickly hit Ctrl+K (the Search Box shortcut), type the keywords, and hit Return, only to remember at the last instant that the search will take me away from my current page. Using the following about:config hack, I configured Firefox to open all searches in a new tab.
- In the “Filter” search, type: browser.search.openintab
- Right click on the setting and click “toggle” so that the Value turns to “true“.
Make Firefox’s Menus Load Faster:

Sometimes, the delay caused while opening a Menu is just a major headache. Here’s how to do away with it using about:config.
- In the configuration window, right click and choose New -> Integer
- Name it ui.submenuDelay and set it to 0
And that’s all that there is to it! It’s simply amazing how a few configuration changes here and there can make your surfing experience so much smoother. About:config hacks really make Mozilla Firefox all the more awesome. No wonder it is one of the most popular browsers in the world.
INDIA VERSUS BANGLADESH 1-TEST
Bangladesh 242 and 67 for 2 need another 348 runs to beat India 243 and 413 for 8 dec (Gambhir 116, Laxman 69*, Mishra 50)
Light permitting, eight Bangladesh wickets were left with the imposing task of playing out a minimum of 90 overs to save the Chittagong Test, and only an outside chance of getting the 348 runs needed to win it. Having set Bangladesh an improbable target, thanks largely to Gautam Gambhir's fifth century in five consecutive Tests, India made important breakthroughs in the 18 overs they managed on the fourth evening.
On a pitch that had become easier to bat on in comparison to the first innings, Zaheer Khan created opportunities against the left-hand top order, but Tamim Iqbal looked more resolute than usual. The positive for India was that the amount of play lost to bad light had gradually decreased over the last two days: 84.4 overs were possible on the fourth day despite the two lost during the changeover.
Tamim showed remarkable restraint for a man reputed to be a dasher. He stayed away from adventurous shots away from his body, and twice followed verbals from Sreesanth and Ishant Sharma with sensible shots, and not quick ripostes. Imrul Kayes and Shahriar Nafees, though, couldn't find the same application. Kayes edged a ball from Zaheer that slightly held its line outside off. Nafees tried his best to get out to Zaheer, but VVS Laxman dropped him once at second slip, and the second edge fell just short of him. When Ishant squared Nafees up for the second time in the match, Virender Sehwag took a smart catch low to his right at gully.
The first two sessions and a bit of the third were an exercise in setting up the declaration. Bangladesh seemed resigned to having to save the Test as Gambhir accumulated - at a strike-rate of 90-plus - his way to his fifth second-innings century. Amit Mishra, the nightwatchman, had some fun too, scoring his first Test fifty.
Bangladesh hardly ever looked like striving for wickets in the first session. The sunniest day of the Test spelled gloom for the hosts; it meant we got 135 minutes of play before lunch, which went for 137 runs. Gambhir started the day by reaching at least fifty in 10th straight Tests, one short of the record held by Viv Richards. From coming to one within Richards' record to moving to one within Don Bradman's - six hundreds in six Tests, it was an inevitable stroll for Gambhir. Bangladesh gave him one-day fields, and he milked ones and twos as if in the middle overs of a 50-over match.
Mishra, on the other hand, gave up his cavalier approach from the previous evening, and started to play like a proper batsman. It helped that he could afford to stay in the crease and keep working the ball, because the spinners didn't look to draw him forward.
From 46 to 95, Gambhir hit just four boundaries, but kept finding gaps in the spread-out field. Both Gambhir and Mishra were dropped once each on the way to their milestones, Gambhir on 55 by Kayes, and Mishra on 41 by Nafees.
In typical fashion, as with his last four tons, Gambhir brought up the century by stepping out and hitting over the infield. He had for company the holder of the Indian record for most centuries in consecutive Tests, Rahul Dravid. Slightly uncharacteristically, Dravid afforded himself a big laugh and high-fived Gambhir on the achievement. Gambhir's wicket was followed by Dravid running himself out, plonking his bat as opposed to sliding it into the crease.
Post lunch, an aggressive Rubel Hossain turned up. He got reverse-swing going, bowled at around 140kmph, and mixed in a fair number of bouncers. He was rewarded with Sachin Tendulkar's wicket and uncomfortable moments for Yuvraj Singh. With both of them falling, VVS Laxman's class almost batted Bangladesh out.
After Yuvraj's wicket, with the lead at 314 and a lot of time left in the Test, Laxman had to be more circumspect. He played some elegant wristy shots, though, and maintained a strike-rate of close to 70. He even slog-swept twice, top-edging safely once, and connecting the other one properly.
Dinesh Karthik and Zaheer took more risks at the other end, and six overs post tea, India declared with Bangladesh needing two runs more than they have ever managed in the fourth innings. They have scored 200 or more in the fourth innings of a Test only three times. Their 217 for 6 got them a famous win in West Indies, and the 413 against Sri Lanka featured a heart-breaking collapse from 403 for 6, in a chase of 521 in Mirpur.

INDIA VERSUS BANGLADESH 1-TEST
India 243 and 122 for 1 (Gambhir 47*, Sehwag 45) lead Bangladesh 242 (Mahmudullah 69, Mushfiqur 44, Zaheer 3-65) by 123 runs
A brain freeze from the Bangladesh lower order squandered the initiative that a 108-run seventh-wicket stand had secured them. With Bangladesh throwing away their last four wickets and falling behind by one run, India didn't look the gift horse in the mouth and went on to extend that lead to 123 with nine wickets in hand.
From 98 for 6, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim had carried Bangladesh past 200 when common sense deserted them. Mushfiqur, who had survived an edgy period early on, threw it away by slog-sweeping an innocuous-looking Amit Mishra from wide outside off. No. 9 Shahadat Hossain came out swinging like the climax of a Western, as opposed to giving the strike to Mahmudullah, who was already past his maiden Test fifty by then.
In the last over before tea, Shahadat chipped Mishra straight to cover. Back after the break, Mahmudullah smote the first ball for four, but when he lofted the fifth ball of the over over mid-on, he came back for two - any other settled batsman would have taken a single and seen out the whole of the next over. Under pressure to take a single next ball, he opened the face and edged Sreesanth to Dinesh Karthik. In the next over, Shafiul Islam got off the mark in Tests with a mowed six, but sliced the next ball to point. Just like that, a golden opportunity of keeping India in the field till about stumps had passed Bangladesh by.
They lost wickets in clusters: the last four for 36 runs, and the first six for 45. Of those six, three came early on the third morning. Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma continued from their impressive spells from the second day and the batsmen kept obliging. There was slight seam movement and bounce in the pitch, enough to make the batsmen regularly play down the wrong line.
Mohammad Ashraful was all at sea, playing Zaheer away from the body, and getting squared up by Ishant. The ever so slight holding of the line from Ishant, and a shade of extra bounce, was enough to awkwardly square up Ashraful and take the shoulder of the bat. Shakib Al Hasan looked to counterattack, hitting four boundaries in the next four overs. Again, all it took was a slight straightening of the ball, and a slash at a wide delivery was flying over gully when Virender Sehwag intercepted it perfectly.
When Zaheer and Ishant were taken off simultaneously, their partnership had resulted in five wickets for 59 runs, during the 23 overs they bowled on the trot. Sreesanth came back to end Raqibul Hasan's resistance, who too played inside the line of a straight delivery, and edged.
The seventh-wicket partnership stopped the procession of dismissals to outside edges and made India go wicketless for almost a full session, leading Bangladesh to a first-innings lead at the same time. Zaheer, the pick of the bowlers, struggled for support, with Sreesanth warned once for running on the pitch and over-stepping almost every second delivery. Mishra was not looking effective at all and Mahmudullah got stuck into him. Between them, Sreesanth and Mishra bowled 12 no-balls.
The duo didn't entirely abort the shots that had proved to be fatal for the earlier batsmen, but were slightly more sensible. They did get away with plays and misses to begin with, but when they chased the wide ones, soft hands meant the ball didn't fly towards slips. In fact, the third man area leaked eight boundaries.
The other big difference the two made was the running between the wickets. They ran hard, and they ran more often, which meant neither of the batsmen got stuck at one end for too long. Nineteen boundaries had been hit before the two came together and 14 came during their stand.
As the stand grew bigger, the batsmen grew surer. Mahmudullah started targeting Mishra, driving him through the covers, lofting him over mid-on, and paddling him to alternate the strike. But then, Bangladesh chose to display their lack of experience.
Coming into bat one run ahead, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir were more circumspect than in the first innings. They saw off the aggressive Shahadat without much adventure, and punished the other fast bowers, Shafiul and Rubel Hossain. With eight of their overs going for 55, Shakib had to bring himself on early again. By then, almost nonchalantly Sehwag and Gambhir had added 56 in 10 overs.
Sehwag stayed quiet against his first-innings nemesis for a bit, and had taken only five off 16 Shakib deliveries when he stepped out and launched him over long-on. Four balls later the slog-sweep against the turn consumed Sehwag. Sent in originally as nightwatchman, Mishra reversed roles, and got his own back at Mahmudullah, dancing down the track and lofting him over mid-on twice on the way to an unbeaten 24 off 21 deliveries. He subjected the other spinners to three other boundaries, taking his tally to one more than Gambhir's, who had seemed inconspicuous and yet scored 47 off 56.

In fact, any significance this fixture is likely to earn will be down to the next match, and whether Bangladesh can catch India on the hop twice in a row. If Monday's match between India and Bangladesh goes down the expected route, this one on Sunday will only take familiarity one step closer to contempt. India, though, will not want to leave it till the Bangladesh match, and Sri Lanka will like to keep that winning feeling going, something they have started to feel consistently after a long time.
On the other hand, if the captains feel adventurous - and Kumar Sangakkara is more likely to, because he is assured of the final berth - they could choose to bat first and get some practice of bowling with a bar of soap. Yes, the matches are being won and lost at the toss, but the teams will want to try and do all they can to reverse the result if they lose the toss in the final.
Watch out for
Harbhajan Singh had a horrible day in the field against Bangladesh, dropping two catches and going for 56 runs in nine overs. That a game after he was the standout bowler against Sri Lanka. Which Harbhajan will turn up on Sunday?
Upul Tharanga has settled the debate as to who should be Tillakaratne Dilshan's opening partner in ODIs, displacing Sanath Jayasuriya. Now that he is assured of his place, perhaps for the first time in his career, Tharanga seems a completely different batsman. Thanks to his starts, Sri Lanka so far haven't even missed Dilshan in this series.
Team news
Nor are Sri Lanka likely to miss Dilshan against India. Because Dilshan is all set to return to action, having recovered from his groin strain. That should push Mahela Jayawardene, who scored a century while opening against Bangladesh, down into the middle order, where he will meet another centurion, Thilan Samaraweera.
Sri Lanka (probable) 1 Upul Tharanga, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt./wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Thilan Samaraweera, 6 Thilina Kandamby, 7 Thissara Perera, 8 Suraj Randiv, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Thilan Thushara, 11 Malinga Bandara
India could retain the XI that beat Bangladesh.
India (probable) 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt./wk), 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8, Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Ashish Nehra, 11 Sreesanth

Quotes
"We were disappointed to lose the ODI series [in India] as we played some very good cricket there. Both the teams have played a lot recently and probably both knew each other inside out. I am looking forward to the match on Sunday."
Mahela Jayawardene wants to set a few records straight.
"Not a single frontline bowler was up to the mark. Only Yuvraj Singh bowled well. We cannot take Ravindra Jadeja as a frontline bowler, but he bowled well."
MS Dhoni is not subtle in the assessment of his side's fielding effort against Bangladesh

Tri-Nation Tournament in Bangladesh 2009/10
Sri Lanka opener Tillakaratne Dilshan has been virtually ruled of tomorrow's game against India because of a groin strain. He suffered the injury during his match-winning 104 in the opening fixture of the tri-nation tournament in Bangladesh, against the hosts.
Sri Lanka entered the competition with a depleted team and have now been dealt a further blow with Dilshan's injury. The injury came in the 34th over when Dilshan clipped Abdur Razzak to deep square-leg and turned for the second run. He pulled up in pain and it was revealed later that it was a groin injury.
"We have had eight players injured in the last 60 playing days," captain Kumar Sangakkara said. "It's rather unfortunate, but we can do nothing about it. He [Dilshan] has pulled up an abductor muscle in the groin region. Hopefully, he can come back into the game at some point in the tournament. Hopefully, others will grab the chances."
Dilshan batted on with a runner to complete an assured century and guided Sri Lanka to a facile win. Dilshan, who scored ten centuries in 2009, has been the main batsman for Sri Lanka and they are likely to find it difficult to overcome his absence.
In the recent past, Sri Lanka missed the services of Mahela Jayawardene, Muttiah Muralitharan, Dilhara Fernando, ThilanThushara, Angelo Mathews and Nuwan Kulasekara due to injuries at various points.
