"Hallmark Of This Test For Him Personally": Dinesh Karthik Lavishes Praise On Rishabh Pant

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.

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.
