India vs Sri Lanka: Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant star in 15th successive Test series at home
India Today
Pink-ball Test: India hammered Sri Lanka by 238 runs as R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah picked up 7 wickets between them in the 2nd innings in Bengaluru. Dimuth Karunaratne's fighting hundred went in vain for the visitors.
Sri Lanka's most resilient display on their tour of India could not prevent Rohit Sharma's men from storming to a 238-run win in the day-night Test in Bengaluru. Chasing 447, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 208 on the third day of the second and the final Test but they will take some pride in Dimuth Karunaratne's fighting 107 and a fine 57 by Kusal Mendis.
India had outwitted Sri Lanka in the first Test in Mohali thanks to Ravindra Jadeja's 175 and 9 wickets and Rishabh Pant's 96. In Bengaluru, it was Shreyas Iyer's batting charge, Jasprit Bumrah's searing pace and variation and Pant's ability to strike fear deep in the hearts of spinners that left Sri Lanka rattled. Despite delaying the inevitable on Monday, at no point did Sri Lanka look like even ringing the alarm bells for India.
IND vs SL, Pink-ball Test Day 3 Highlights
Rohit Sharma relied on his most potent strike bowlers to remove the two well-set Sri Lankan batsmen on what turned out to be the final day of the Test and the series. While R Ashwin got rid of Mendis, Bumrah dismissed Karunaratne as India charged towards their 15th successive Test series win at home.
India's bowlers missed the ideal lengths on Monday which allowed Sri Lanka's batsmen to prosper and finally get past the 200-run mark for the first time in the series. The pitch, however, was still extremely tricky for batsmen to survive for long periods and at the end, Bumrah opened the floodgates for an emphatic Indian victory.
