There’s a lot to be critical about India’s performance but save that for later. For the moment let’s hail a stupendous victory by Sri Lanka

Saw a great turnaround at Eden Gardens against Australia in 2001. But this one the most shocking ever for me.

No three figure score had ever been successfully overhauled at Galle in the 4th innings. The record is intact.

This 112 all out ranks with the 81 all out in Barbados in 1997 in Indian cricket’s Hall of Infamy.
