India registered a comprehensive win over Sri Lanka in the first Test in Mohali, thanks to some all-round performances from players like Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant. While Jadeja was the star of the win with a classy 175 not out followed by a nine-wicket haul in the match as he dominated proceedings. Pant, on the other hand, put on an impressive show with the bat in the first innings when he played a counter-attacking 96-run knock. However, another crucial role in the match was yet to follow. After India posted a mammoth 574-8 declared, Pant supported the bowlers brilliantly with his "improved" outing behind the stumps.
