Day 5, Highlights: R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma Give India First Series Win in Sri Lanka After 22 Years.
R Ashwin and Ishant Sharma sealed a memorable 117-run win in the third Test against Sri Lanka at the SSC. The win has resulted in India achieving their first series win in Sri Lanka after 22 years. Relive all the highlights here.
Sri Lanka looked to be gritting it out with a 135-run stand between Angelo Mathews and Kusal Perera. However, the second new ball reaped rich dividends. Ishant sent back Mathews for 110 while the rest of the tail collapsed in a heap. India’s 117-run win gave them their first series win in Sri Lanka after 22 years and this is Virat Kohli’s first win as skipper.
