There has been no stopping for skipper Rohit Sharma. He is recording one after the other whitewashes. After ODI and T20, Rohit Sharma took the Men in Blue to the whitewash win against the Island nation Sri Lanka. Under his leadership, India defeated Sri Lanka with a stunning margin of 238 runs.
Chasing a mammoth target, Sri Lanka did not get the ideal start with the batsmen losing the early wickets. Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis made a valuable contribution with the bat. However, that could not help Sri Lanka win the match. Except for the duo, no other Sri Lankan batsman had shined.
India found heroes in Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, and Bumrah. The batsmen duo played their part in putting up a good score and in the end, Bumrah made it tough for the Sri Lankan players.
Jasprit Bumrah's heroics with the ball made him record his maiden 5-wicket haul at home. In the second test, Bumrah had ended up taking 8 wickets by conceding just 47 runs. On the other hand, veteran bowler Ashwin did play his part and claimed four wickets.
India's win in the second Test against Sri Lanka marks the 15th consecutive win for India at home. The Test series also marks the fifth whitewash in for Hitman Rohit Sharma across the formats. His first whitewash was recorded when India faced blackcaps New Zealand.
