India vs Sri Lanka review

Image
By


 

India has completed a dominant win against Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs. The star of the game was Jadeja with his 175 not out and 9 wickets. India was dominant from day  1 and they ended up winning the match in 2 and half days. The Indian batting order put in a decent performance with the bat in hand posting 574/8.  Sri Lanka was bowled out for 174 and 178.   

It was all India throughout the test match as Sri Lanka struggled to put up a fight in this match. There were a few individual performances from Sri Lankan players Nissaka 61 in the 1st innings and Dickwella 51 in the 2nd innings but both never really got any support from anybody else to put together a partnership and apply pressure on India one end was always open and wickets just kept falling on regular basis. 

The Sri Lankan team were always chasing the game and never looked like there would pose any threat to the Indian team at all this was a totally dominating performance from the Indian side to start their new era under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma in tests. 

Well done to the Indian team and also congratulations to Ashwin on going past Kapil Dev on the all-time wicket-takers list. Good Luck to both for the next game which is a day-night encounter in Bangalore which starts on Saturday. 


Here is the match summary

  The Proteas are set to face India in a three-match ODI series, starting on December 17, 2023. The series will be played in Johannesburg, Gqeberha, and Paarl. South Africa comes into the series with a relatively young team that is still finding its feet in international cricket. The likes of Tony de Zorzi, Kyle Verreynne, and Wiaan Mulder will be looking to make an impact in the series and cement their place in the team. On the other hand, India also has a very young and inexperienced ODI squad, led by the likes of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer.
