Ravindra Jadeja's brilliance helps India defeat Sri Lanka in Mohali Test inside three days

Ravindra Jadeja delivered one of the all-time great Test performances as India defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in Mohali on Sunday.

Jadeja first starred with the bat, blasting 175 not out from just 228 balls in India's first innings score of 574-8 declared.

He then followed it up with equally brilliant efforts in the next two innings with the ball as Jadeja ended up with nine wickets in the match to seal an innings win inside three days.

The left-arm spinner took 5-41 to help bowl out Sri Lanka for 174 in their first innings after the tourists resumed the day on 108-4, with the hosts enforcing the follow-on.

The Sri Lankans did not fare any better in the second outing. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took 4-47, while Jadeja finished with 4-46 as the tourists collapsed to 178 all out.

Jadeja said he was happy to have contributed with bat and ball, stating the PCA Stadium in Mohali has always been a happy hunting ground.

“This is my lucky ground. Whenever I come here, I always get positive vibes,” Jadeja said. “To be honest I don't know about stats [hundred and ten wickets in same Test] but I am happy to do well with bat and ball. When you perform like this, you feel very confident.”

Niroshan Dickwella remained unbeaten on 51 when Ashwin got the final wicket of the injured Lahiru Kumara, triggering wild celebrations in Virat Kohli's 100th Test match.

Ashwin, who now has 436 wickets in 85 Tests, took four in Sri Lanka's second innings and went past India seam-bowling great Kapil Dev's tally of 434.
