Ind vs Sl: How the action unfolded on Day 3
Requiring 419 to win, it was always going to be very tough for Sri Lanka who were 28-1 overnight with Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis at the crease. However, the duo started well and added 69 in the first session before Mendis gifted away his wicket by stepping out and getting stumped. He scored 54. Quick wickets fell on the other end. However, Karunaratne kept on going to score a brilliant century, his 14th of the Test career. Eventually, he too got out and the entire Sri Lankan team after crossing the 200 mark for the first time in this series, was all out for 208. Thus, in the end, India won by 238 runs.
Earlier in the Test, after winning the toss and electing to bat first, India scored 252 in its first innings in reply of which Sri Lanka were all out for 109. In the second innings, India declared its innings at 303/9.
India vs Sri Lanka: Rishabh Pant Player of the Series
Rishabh Pant, who scored a brilliant 96 in the first Test and then made game-changing 39 and 50 in the first and second innings of the second Test respectively, was rightfully named Player of the Series. Along with his batting, his wicket-keeping was class apart as well as he had to name 8 dismissals in the series which also included two stumpings. But more than all this, his input in the Decision Review System was very crucial for Rohit Sharma to make decisions.

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | India win- Learnings from the series
Shreyas Iyer and Vihari are here to stay
Shreyas Iyer has once again proved in this series that he is here to stay and that he has permanently taken the position of Ajinkya Rahane in the team. On the other hand, Hanuma Vihari has also performed equally well hitting fifty and two thirties on a difficult track. Thus, for Cheteshwar Pujara and Rahane to find their way back in the Playing 11 or even in the team, it looks like a foregone conclusion that they have played their last game for India even though they or their fans might not have realised.
Pant's keeping has improved leaps and bounds
Rishabh Pant the dashing batter was never doubted even by the critics as India's first choice wicket-keeping option. It was his role as wicket-keeper especially on turning Indian pitches that created a doubt. But over the course of the two matches, he has shown that he is made different and that he can learn to adjust and can adjust pretty quickly if given an opportunity. He has now developed himself into one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen in the world without any doubt.
Rohit Sharma needs no freebies
And last but not the least, Rohit Sharma knows how to grab opportunities and there is no system of trial and error with him as he has not dropped even a single game after being named India's full-time captain in all three formats. It is this attitude that makes him an ideal captain and India can expect big things from him in the 2 to 3 years of cricket that is left in him.

Live | IND vs SL | 2nd Test | Day 3- Lapse in concentration from Karunaratne
And finally, a lapse in concentration from Dimuth Karunaratne and Bumrah castles him. It was full and into the stumps, there to be driven and he drove but there was a big gap between bat and pad and seemed like after his century, he was tired and thus Karunaratne departs after a well made century and now India are just three wickets away from the win.
