Team India clinch another Test victory at home as they beat Sri Lanka inside three days by a mammoth margin of an innings and 222 runs. Ravindra Jadeja was the hero in both the innings both with the bat and the ball. Skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss in his maiden Test as skipper and elected to bat first.

Team India posted a huge total of 574-8 and declared their innings on day two. Ravindra Jadeja made a mega comeback to Test cricket posting his second Test century, a brilliant unbeaten 175. He was supported well by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant (96 off 97), R Ashwin (61) and Hanuma Vihari (58) who was batting at number 3 for the first time in Test cricket.

Team India followed that total with an excellent bowling performance in the first innings, bundling out Sri Lanka early on day 3 for 174 and enforced the follow on. Jadeja and Ashwin were the stars with the ball as well as they picked seven wickets between them with the left arm spinner achieving the rare double of scoring a hundred and picking up a fifer in the same Test inning.

The pair continued this performance in the second innings as well and picked up eight wickets between them with Jadeja (4-46) and Ashwin picking up figures of 4-47. Mohammed Shami bowled a couple of good spells and chipped in with the two remaining wickets.

There was some resistance on display from the Sri Lanka batters in the second innings as returning wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella scored a brilliant unbeaten 51 off 81 deliveries but lacked a partner on the other end.

The biggest partnership of the Lankan second innings was between Dhananjaya de Silva and Angelo Mathews for the fourth wicket when the duo added 49 runs. The Indian spinners then made a supreme comeback and bundled out Sri Lanka for 178 to go 1-0 up in the two match series with Ashwin surpassing Kapil Dev's tally of 434 Test wickets to become the second leading wicket taker in Tests for India after Anil Kumble. Ashwin has now 436 wickets to his name.

Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.
