Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman congratulate Team India for winning Test series against Sri Lanka

Sachin Tendulkar praised Team India on sweeping the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka for a resounding triumph. India beat Sri Lanka by 238 runs in the second Test on Monday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to clinch the two-match series 2-0. "#TeamIndia's pink, white and red ball form at home this season has been outstanding. Congratulations on a good win," tweeted Sachin.

Former India batter and current National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman also took to his Twitter and wrote, "Clinical series win for India. Shreyas Iyer was a treat to watch in both innings, Rishabh Pant was at his entertaining best and Bumrah showed his class again. For Sri Lanka, Karunaratne fought valiantly but it was always going to be an uphill task. Congratulations."

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan also congratulated Team India and said that Sri Lanka need to work on their performance. "Feel good series win by team India. Bumrah was outstanding on this dry pitch. Not a single win during this Indian trip for Sri Lanka, they need to learn a lot quickly," tweeted Irfan.

Resuming the post-Tea session at 151/4 on day three in Bengaluru, Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne and Niroshan Dickwella struck a run partnership for the fifth wicket, but the promising stand was broken by left-arm spinner Axar Patel who dismissed Dickwella for 12, stumped by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Charith Asalanka joined his skipper but could not do much as he became the second victim of Patel, caught by Rohit Sharma for 5, that put the Lankans in further trouble at 180/6. Karunaratne kept the fight on as he went on to complete his century and, along with Lasith Embuldeniya, took Sri Lanka's total beyond the 200-run mark.
