Rohit Sharma's "empathy" as captain after he led India to a fifth successive series victory since taking over from Virat Kohli. India overwhelmed Sri Lanka by 238 runs inside three days in the pink-ball match on Monday to sweep the series 2-0 and extend their Test series win streak at home to 15.

Less than 10 days after going past Kapil Dev's tally, India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin beat Dale Steyn to rise to the eighth spot in the all-time highest wicket-takers' list in Test cricket. Ashwin went past Steyn on Day 3 of the India vs Sri Lanka second Test match at Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru when he dismissed Dhananjaya de Silva in the morning session. The Sri Lanka all-rounder was Ashwin's 440th Test victim, which took him past Steyn's tally of 439. At the Tea break on Monday in the day-night Test, Ashwin had 440 wickets to his name in 162 innings while Steyn took 439 wickets in 171 innings. The elite list is led by legendary Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who is the only cricketer to take 800 Test wickets. He is followed by Australian legend Shane Warne, who retired with 709 Test scalps.

India vs Sri Lanka 2022 2nd Test Day 3 Ind vs SL Test Live Score Updates: Resuming play from their overnight score of 28 for one, Sri Lanka are off to a rapid start against India on Day 3 of the second Test in Bengaluru.

Earlier, the Indian team ended Day 2 on a high with the all-important wicket of Lahiru Thirimanne, who was dismissed by Bumrah for a duck.

Rishabh Pant put Sri Lankan attack to the sword with a record-breaking half-century while Shreyas Iyer yet again conjured up a measured fifty to let India grab complete control of the second Test in Bengaluru on Sunday.
