At Galle, India registered their biggest victory at overseas conditions. After captain Kohli declared India’s second innings on 240 for 3 spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin played a key role to ensure India’s victory with one day in hand.

During India’s 304 runs victory they have broken their previous record in Sri Lanka. In 2015, India have defeated Sri Lanka by 278 runs under Kohli’s captaincy at P. Sara Oval. In a span of two years, Team India set a new record on the island.
