It was Virat Kohli's 100th Test match. It was Rohit Sharma's maiden Test as India captain. But one Ravindra Jadeja decided to make it the most memorable Test in his career. After his majestic 175 not out on Day 2, Jadeja took nine wickets on Sunday to steer India to an innings and 222 runs victory in the first Test of the two-match series. He finished with 5/41 in the first innings as Sri Lanka were bundled out for 174. Followed on, the scenario didn't change either as kept on taking wickets at regular intervals with Jadeja once again among the wickets with figures of 4/46. Sri Lanka could manage just four runs more than their first innings total. For Sri Lanka, their only positives from the game were Pathum Nissanka's 61 in the first innings and Niroshan Dickwella's fighting 51 not out. Also in the process, Ravichandran Ashwin overtook Kapil Dev's 434 wickets to become India's second-highest wicket-taker in Tests. Get highlights of IND vs SL.

I would say this is my lucky ground. Whenever I come here I get positive vibes. To be honest I don't know about any stat. Feeling very good, happy to score runs and pick wickets for the team. Such performance obviously boosts your confidence as a player. I have not done anything differently, just played to my strengths and I give myself time to settle down.
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. Good signs for India cricket. The highlight of the game was Ravindra Jadeja. There was a question whether to declare or not, it was the team's decision, Jadeja's decision to put them in and shows how selfless he is.
We never thought the game would finish by day three. The batters need to pull their socks up and bat longer innings. If we had bowled better then we could have restricted them. As a batting unit, we have to score big. We did well for the first two sessions but could not execute when the ball got old and those are things we need to work on.
He (Jadeja) has really come a long way in the last four-five years. His batting is improving match by math and he knows what he is doing. You can't leave (Mohammed) Shami and Jasprit (Bumrah) out of things either. They stuck to their guns, sustained pressure, bowled their hearts out and reversed the ball to give the follow-on.
India win the first Test by an innings and 222 runs. Poor surrender by Sri Lanka. 16 wickets fell on the day in both innings.

Out of all negatives, what are the positives for Sri Lanka from this Test match? Pathum Nissanka's 61 in the first innings and Niroshan Dickwella's fighting 49 so far in this innings. SL 172/9 (f/o).
India are just a wicket away from victory. Viswa Fernando is out, LBW, off Mohammed Shami for a duck. SL 170/9 (f/0)
Virat Kohli's 100th Test match is all about Ravindra Jadeja. He first hits 175 not out in the first innings and now has taken nine wickets in the match so far. Jadeja needs just one wicket to become first in the world to take 10 wickets and score 150 runs in the same Test. He also can become the fifth player to score a 100 and pick a 10-wicket haul in a Test match
Well, he's done it again. Around the stump and a healthy edge to break the 32-run stand. Lasith Embuldeniya, caught behind, goes for 2 off 42. Very good take behind the wicket by Rishabh Pant. Very low. 4/35 for Ravindra Jadeja in the innings. Vishwa Fernando is the new man. Sri Lanka trail by 247 runs. SL - 153/8 (f/o) (51)
A little defiant act from Niroshan Dickwella and Lasith Embuldeniya, adding 19 runs in 67 balls for the 8th wicket. Sri Lanka still trail by 260 runs. SL - 140/7 (f/o) (48)
At Tea, Sri Lanka were 120/4 in 35 overs. Now they are 130/7 in 40 overs, losing three more wickets in a space of four overs after the break.
Ashwin claimed the wicket of Asalanka for 20 off 9, then Jadeja got Matthews (28 off 75) and Lakmal (0 off 3) in one over.
Sri Lanka go into Tea with 120/4 on board after being followed on. Can India wrap up the game in the final session today? Angelo Mathews and Charith Asalanka have lot to do.
Ravindra Jadeja strikes again. Dhananjaya de Silva hits straight at the hands of Shreyas Iyer for 30. Much-needed breakthrough for the Indians. SL 94/4 (32.5)
Focus shifts to Mohali. The women have done their job and now it's time for their male counterparts. After the top three back in the hut, Angelo Mathews and Dhananjaya de Silva have put on 41 runs in 85 balls for the fourth wicket to frustrate the Indians. SL 86/3 (30)
India have beaten Pakistan by 107 runs in their ICC Women's World Cup 2022 opener.
Mohammed Shami is doing the ball talking in the second innings. The ball kisses Dimuth Karunaratne's bat all the way to Rishabh Pant. The Lankan skipper goes for 27. SL 46/3 (16)
Rare drop from Virat Kohli. Jayant Yadav gets a big deviation, Angelo Mathews edges the ball at first slip only for Kohli to put down. SL 33/2 (10)
Looks like a result is awaited on Day 3 itself. Following on, Sri Lanka have lost their second wicket Pathum Nissanka for 6. Ravichandran Ashwin gets the wicket. SL 19/2 (7) in second innings.
Indian women have taken complete control over Pakistan women in their ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2022 match in Mount Maunganui. Pakistan have half of their side back in the hut.
Ravichandran Ashwin gets Lahiru Thirimmane just before lunch. SL 10/1. India need nine wickets to win.
Ravindra Jadeja becomes the sixth player in the world to score and 150-plus runs and take a five-wicket haul in the same Test. He joins an elite list that include Vinoo Mankad (IND), Denis Atkinson (WI), Polly Umrigar (IND), Gary Sobers (WI) and Mushtaq Mohammad (PAK).
This is Ravindra Jadeja's Test match. He polishes off the Sri Lankan tail with the final two wickets as the visitors have been bowled out for 174. India enforce follow-on
In New Zealand, India women have so far tightened their grip over Pakistan. Pakistan are 26/0 in 10 overs chasing 245.
Sri Lanka slide down further. Ravichandran Ashwin sends back Niroshan Dickwella and Suranga Lakmal in the same over before Mohammed Shami gets his first wicket of the day, dismissing Lasith Embuldeniya for a duck. SL 173/8 (63.3)
Jasprit Bumrah gives India the breakthrough on Day 3. Charith Asalanka is out for 29, LBW by Bumrah. Fifth wicket and five LBWs. SL 161/5 (58)
Hosts keep Sri Lanka in check. The last 10 overs only yielded 32 runs for Sri Lanka. Pathum Nissanka and Charith Asalanka are currently batting for the visitors. SL 140/4 (52)
Sri Lanka should take a leaf out of India women's fightback against Pakistan in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2022 in New Zealand. After being reduced to 114/6 at one stage, the Women in Blue finish at 244/7.
Mohammed Shami starts off with a no ball. Two runs come from the first over of the day. SL 110/4 (44)
At stumps on Day 2, No. 3 Pathum Nissanka was unbeaten on 26, while Charith Asalanka was 1 not out. They have to deal with Jadeja, Ashwin and Jayant Yadav on Sunday in what will be a real challenging affair.
Just like Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin has proved his all-round skills once again. Ashwin scored 61, his 12th Test half-century and his 130-run seventh-wicket partnership with Jadeja was absolutely critical on Saturday. Ashwin has taken two of the four Lankan wickets to fall so far.
Welcome to Day 3 live coverage of India vs Sri Lanka first Test in Mohali. Ravindra Jadeja has been the superhero so far with a career-best 175 not out that put India in a commanding position.
A record-breaking knock 🔥
