Opener Nuwanidu Fernando scored a half-century on debut, while the entire Sri Lankan batting was bundled out 215 runs in 39.4 overs.
Left -arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav, drafted in place of Yuzvendra Chahal, snared three wickets while giving away 51 runs.

Second Innings: India Batting:

KL Rahul scored match-winning knock of 64 runs, off 103 balls, with 6 boundaries, and remained not out.
Shreyas Iyer (28), Hardik Pandya (36) and Axar Patel (21) played useful cameos as KL Rahul guided Team India to victory in the 44th over.
