It was a given that Sri Lanka were not going to last the distance. But nobody thought it was going to be such a meek surrender inside three days. The rampaging Indians just did not give the rivals any chance to put up a fight on a pitch that gave enough assistance to the spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. The two Ravis ran though the batting twice and made the match memorable for themselves by achieving personal landmarks on way to helping India register a huge win — by an innings and 222 runs — to go one-up in the two-match Test series.
This Sri Lankan team are not even a pale shadow of their national team of a few years ago, when the likes of Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara and Mutthiah Muralitharan were a force to reckon with. Nobody expected the present team to be of that calibre, but at least they were expected to show some determination and will to put up a fight.
