We ticked all boxes, says Rohit Sharma after winning his maiden Test as India captain
Rohit Sharma on Sunday said India ticked all the boxes against Sri Lanka in the opening Test of the two-match series here.

After being bowled out for 174 in the first innings, Sri Lanka, who lost 16 wickets on the day, were dismissed for 178 in their second essay. "It was a good start. It was a great game of cricket from our perspective. We ticked all the boxes we wanted to. To be honest I didn't think it is going to be that kind of a Test match which would get over in three days. "It was a good batting pitch, there was some turn and some assistance for the seamers as well," Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
