India now need 7 wins out of their remaining 8 matches to make it to the WTC final.
Sri Lanka’s loss, however, puts them nearly out of the WTC final race, as they now need 6 out of 6 wins to keep their hopes alive, while also depending on other results.
Winning the toss and batting first, India scored a massive 462 runs on what was a good batting pitch for the first two days.
That was largely to Devdutt Padikkal, who, in just his third Test, hit a mammoth 167 runs.
He was assisted by KL Rahul, who scored a brilliant 82.
In response, Sri Lanka only managed 284, with Sonal Dinusha’s 100 and the returning Niroshan Dickwella’s 80.
The third-best score was 27.
Although the hosts came back strongly with the ball in the second innings, a target of 372 runs on a turning Galle pitch was always an impossible task.
India’s Manav Suthar ran riot with his left-arm spin, claiming a 10-fer in the match, including three wickets in one over to wrap up the game on day five.
Had Sri Lanka hung around a little while longer, they could’ve gotten out with a draw, as rain came pouring down minutes after the match concluded.
Already missing Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis, Sri Lanka have now also lost Dinesh Chandimal to injury.
India, on the other hand, should be happy going in with the same team, though they might consider giving Saransh Jain a look, as Kuldeep Yadav looked very off-colour in Galle.
Read on to find out how to watch the Sri Lanka vs India test series from wherever you are, including free options.
