After getting bundled out for less than 200 on the third morning of the Colombo test, the Sri Lankan team put on a far better display following-on and got very close to denying India an innings win.
India, however, eventually secured the innings win and with that secured the series win as well, but, it was definitely Sri Lanka’s best batting performance in the whole series and they would now be a pretty confident batting unit going ahead.
It was not that the wicket changed too much and the turn and bounce disappeared all of a sudden when the Sri Lankans came in to bat the second time.
