The Sri Lankan batting line-up faltered in both innings. They were bowled out for a paltry 174 runs in the first innings and succumbed to 178 runs in the second. Jadeja took a fifer in the first innings for India, while Ashwin took a four-wicket haul in the second. Pathum Nissanka and Niroshan Dickwella were the only shining lights in the SL batting.
With India eyeing a clean-sweep in the second test, we are in for a great contest on March 12 in Bengaluru.
