Ravindra Jadeja got a five-wicket pull, his first in Quite a while beginning around 2017, to add to his 175 with the bat as Sri Lanka surrendered a 400-run first innings lead on the third day of the Mohali Test.
Sri Lanka then, at that point, lost Lahiru Thirimanne, got at slip against R Ashwin, while following on to cover off a grim meeting where they lost seven wickets altogether. The last four players in the main innings generally succumbed to ducks with India outmaneuvering them with twist and speed the same.
Jadeja got two wickets in an over two times, having Niroshan Dickwella and Suranga Lakmal got off miscued top dogs setting off the breakdown first. And afterward returned to wrap up the innings off progressive balls having Vishwa Fernando gotten at slip and Lahiru Kumara clean bowled. In the middle, Mohammad Shami bobbed out Lasith Embuldeniya as Sri Lanka lost their last six wickets for only 13 runs in about 42 balls.
The excited slide down was very as opposed to how Sri Lanka had begun in the principal hour of the day.
Both Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka, the short-term players, had a touch of karma turning out well for them with the previous dropped by Shreyas Iyer off R Ashwin. Nonetheless, they rode on that karma to sack limits at whatever point India failed long and added a dirty 58-run represent the fifth wicket. Nissanka raised his fifth 50 years throughout the span of his resistant thump. In any case, the advanced that India worked for got through a propelled piece of bowling by Jasprit Bumrah. A more slow offcutter from round the wicket did Asalanka in for pace and was caught LBW on survey.
It opened the conduit entryways for Sri Lanka's quick freefall from that point.
