The win was set up with a splendid opening stand of 233 runs between Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag on day one itself. India eventually went on to post a mammoth total of 642. Sreesanth was declared Man of the Match for his 6 wicket haul.

India will be without the services of opening batsman Gautam Gambhir, who will be attending his sister's wedding, for the third Test against Sri Lanka in Mumbai.

Openers Virender Sehwag and Murali Vijay gave India a promising start after bowlers wrapped up the Sri Lankan tail for 393 runs in the first innings on the second day of the third and final cricket Test here on Thursday.

Gautam Gambhir’s century in the Kanpur Test against Sri Lanka elevated him to the top spot in International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Test rankings.

Opener Gautam Gambhir stroked a third century in as many matches and Sachin Tendulkar hit a fifty to put India in position to save the first test against Sri Lanka on Friday.

Virender Sehwag has stormed back into the top-five of the ICC rankings for Test batsmen by virtue of his superlative double-century against Sri Lanka in the third Test in Mumbai.

Virender Sehwag fell short of his third triple century when he was dismissed for 293 on day three of the third and final Test against Sri Lanka, at the Brabourne stadium, in Mumbai, on Friday.

Sachin Tendulkar rested, Sehwag returns in One-day squad. Irfan Pathan and Praveen Kumar dropped.
Squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, RP Singh, Virat Kohli, M Vijay

Virender Sehwag is enjoying sensational form for India, thanks to his faith in his own natural aggression after an injury break as well as unusually cautious starts.
