Bangalore: India extinguished whatever little spark Sri Lanka showed and wrapped up the second Test inside three days for a comprehensive 238-run win. In the process India completed a 2-0 whitewash of the Islanders, here Monday.

A herculean task at hand, Sri Lanka took the field on the third day with a lot of determination. However, it was always going to be tough to negotiate the Indian attack on a track that has been offering turn and uneven bounce from day one.

Sri Lanka resumed at 28 for one in pursuit of an improbable 447-run target. The Sri Lankan batters, led by skipper Dimuth Karunaratne (107, 174b, 15×4) resisted the Indian attack for some time. However, then they folded for 208 in the post-tea session.

“It’s been a good run, and I have enjoyed it personally and as a team. We wanted to achieve a few things as a team, and we have done that,” skipper Rohit Sharma said after the game. He spoke about the positives that emerged from the two-match series.

“We have seen (Ravindra) Jadeja grow as a batter, and he seems to get better and better. Shreyas (Iyer) just carried on from where he left off in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. He knew he was stepping into the big shoes of guys like (Ajinkya) Rahane and (Cheteshwar) Pujara, but he has everything that he requires. Rishabh (Pant) seems to get better with each game that he plays,” the skipper waxed eloquent.

Left-handed Karunaratne has been one of the most consistent performers for Sri Lanka in recent times. He raised his 14th Test century with a boundary off Jasprit Bumrah (3/23). He took some time to settle but worked the ball around swiftly, consistently placing them in the gaps.

Bumrah eventually sent him back with slightly seaming ball that beat his bat to shatter the stumps. The lethal Indian fast bowler, who consistently made life tough for the Lankans, returned with match figures of 8 for 47, having taken a fifer at home for the first time in the first innings.  Ravichandran Ashwin (4/55), Axar Patel (2/37) and Ravindra Jadeja (1/48) did their bit in wrapping up the Lankan innings.

India now have won all three pink-ball Tests at home, having beaten beating Bangladesh (in Kolkata, 2019) and England (in Ahmedabad, 2021) before.

Two wins against Sri Lanka fetched India 24 points but Rohit Sharma’s men remain in fifth position in World Championship table due to ‘low percentage points’ (54.16). They have 77 points in their kitty.

Visitors’ early positive intent, something which has not been witnessed much in this series, resulted in a rare productive batting session for the Lankans who collected 123 runs for loss of three wickets.

Adopting a positive yet cautious approach, both Kusal Mendis (54, 60b, 8×4) and Karunaratne used their feet with confidence to counter the Indian spinners. Mendis was impressive on both front and back foot as he pulled and cut the short-pitched stuff and used his feet to cut down the spin. Karunaratne too charged down the wicket, following a similar plan but Mendis was more expressive.

Mendis completed his 50 with a single off Jadeja but was beaten by flight on an Ashwin delivery and was stumped by Pant. That brought about the end of their fighting 96-run stand for the second wicket.

From there on, it was a downward slide for the visitors. Jadeja cleaned up Angelo Mathews (1) and Ashwin had Dhananjaya de Silva (4) caught at forward short-leg.

Karunaratne completed his half century with a single off Axar, who replaced Ashwin from the pavilion end.

A small partnership began to develop between Karunaratne and Dickwella (12) even as Mohammed Shami troubled the batters with his pace.

Axar broke the 55-run stand when he had Dickwella stumped and also sent back Charith Asalanka (5) by having him caught in backward short leg, where Rohit took simple catch.

Brief scores

India 252 and 303 for 9 declared beat Sri Lanka 109 and 208 (Dimuth Karunaratne 107, Kusal Mendis 54, Ravichandran Ashwin 4/55, Jasprit Bumrah 3/23, Axar Patel 2/37) by 238 runs
