Here are the key reasons for today’s victory –

  1. Chandimal was out of form throughout the series. Being captain and one of the key batsmen, this impacted Sri Lankan batting line up badly.
  2. Sri Lankan batsmen didn’t have any answers to brilliance of R. Ashwin. He finished his spell. Figures of 4-1-8-4.
  3. It was a brilliant effort from Ashwin, but he must have been disappointed for missing that five-wicket haul.
  4. Even Suresh Raina enjoyed the party. He claimed 2 wicket in his name.
  5. Shikhar Dhawan & Rahane with their run a ball score ensured that India get an easy win.
