Was an impressive effort from Sri Lanka to get out of that one : Dinusha performance one for the books.

India may have erred in enforcing the follow on but with time and pitch conditions it was understandable that they tried it.

Good old fashioned Test Match after all these two/three day games around the world , eh ?

SL are not the top ranked test team, but at home they have plenty of spinners to choose from and be competitive. The wickets are to their batsmen's liking as well.

India have done well to win thsi series 1-0. Even in the second drawn test, India had a upper hand for most sessions. Devudtt Padikkal, who replaced injured Sai Sudarshan at 3, had a great series. Saransh Jain gets some experience at this level due to Kuldeeps absence. India should have given expsrience to some other spinner than Saranash Jain who is nearing mid 30's. imo his selection imo is very short sighted.
