Team India beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 171 runs inside three days in the third and final Test to complete a 3-0 whitewash. Virat Kohli became the first Indian captain to sweep a Test series away from home after the visitors hammered Sri Lanka in the Pallekele Test.

India made it three wins from three Tests after beating Sri Lanka by an innings and 171 runs in the third and final Test. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami took two wickets as India marched towards an innings victory.

Resuming the day at 19 for 2, Sri Lanka lost three wickets in the first session and six more in the extended second innings. Ashwin took four wickets while Mohammed Shami picked up three wickets. Umesh Yadav chipped in with one wicket while Kuldeep Yadav also got a wicket. Earlier, the hosts were bundled out for 135 on Sunday after India posted 487 in their first innings.

This is India’s first ever clean-sweep away from home in a series with at least three Tests.

Kohli is a confused man. His team defeated Sri Lanka & made Lord Rama Happy on the day of Janamasthami, the Birthday of Lord Krishna

Expected performance from Sri Lanka in this series was like “Raavan”, but they actually performed like “Ra-One”. #INDvSL

I fear, and I say this as someone who has enjoyed watching great Sri Lankan players, that there was only team in this series

As easy a series win as is possible to have and that means lots and lots for Sri Lankan cricket to think about.

Sri Lanka have gone from bad to worse this series. Appalling in 3rd Test appalling. Demands heads must roll, but how many?!
