India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test: 'All-time great' Ashwin goes past Kapil Dev's 434 wickets

Kapil Dev retired from international cricket in 1994. Once he had surpassed Richard Hadlee's tally of 431 Test wickets, it was the envy of the cricket world till Courtney Walsh went past him in 2001. Eight bowlers have gone past Kapil since and Anil Kumble has remained India's highest Test wicket-taker for close to two decades. On Sunday, R Ashwin claimed Sri Lanka's Charith Asalanka first Test to go past Kapil's tally. After finishing the second innings with figures of 4/47, he now stands at 436 wickets in 85 Tests.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test: Jadeja's allround heroics help India crush Sri Lanka

Allrounder backs up century with 9 wickets as India dismantle Lanka within three days in the first TestMOHALI: It was supposed to be a milestone Test match for three stalwarts in the Indian team - Virat Kohli played his 100th Test and crossed the 8000-run mark; Rohit Sharma led India in a Test for the first time and on Sunday R Ashwin surpassed Kapil Dev's tally of 434 Test wickets. DAY 3: AS IT HAPPENED | SCORECARDYet, when India wrapped up the first Test against Sri Lanka, winning the match by an innings and 222 runs, the man who imposed himself on the game was Ravindra Jadeja. His match figures of 9/87 and his unbeaten 175 the previous day were the driving force behind India completing the rout in three days. When he cleaned up Lahiru Kumara in Lanka's first innings to complete a five-wicket haul on the third morning, he became the third Indian to score 150 runs and take five wickets in a Test match after Vinoo Mankad and Polly Umrigar. That he is the first Indian to do so in nearly 60 years is further evidence of his calibre as an outstanding allrounder. Jadeja ensured there was no respite for a Sri Lankan team which can at best be described as ordinary.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test: Rohit Sharma Lauds Indian Team After Win, Says "Great Game Of Cricket From Our Perspective"

India skipper Rohit Sharma expressed happiness, after his side defeated Sri Lanka at the Punjab Cricket Association, IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali on Sunday to take an unassailable 1-0 lead in the two-match Test series. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin bagged four wickets in 2nd innings, as India defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in the first Test. "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 that would get over in three days. It was a good batting pitch, there was some turn and some assistance for the seamers as well. A lot of credit to the guys, they bowled very well in tandem, kept the pressure and never made it easier for the Sri Lanka batsmen. We just ensured we applied pressure from both ends. Good signs for India cricket," said Rohit after the first Test ended.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st Test Day 3: Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin wrap it up for India inside 3 days, win by an innings and 222 runs

Ravindra Jadeja stood tall with his all-round brilliance as he complemented his unbeaten 175 with nine wickets in India's innings and 222-run win against a Sri Lankan team that looked anything but Test class in a match that ended inside three days. 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. In the first innings, they were one short of Jadeja's individual score and in the second they were three more, which speaks about their plight. India lead the two-match series 1-0, and will like to gain full 24 points from the rubber by winning the Pink Ball Test in Bengaluru, starting March 12.
