The Lankans failed to achieve the 550-run target set by Virat Kohli and Co. and were bundled out on fourth day for just 245. 


The result helped India take a 1-0 lead in the three-match, which also produced their biggest win in terms of runs on foreign soil.


Celebrating their off day after wrapping up the match a day early, first Rohit Sharma shared a picutre of Indian cricketers playing FIFA in their hotel. Later, Kohli, Rahul, Pandya, Rohit, Rahane and some of the support staff people posted quite a few pictures on social media, displaying their pool-side activities.




 



"I have a lot of faith in him (Hardik) as far as any format is concerned. If he grows in confidence - you see someone like Ben Stokes, what he does for England, brings in great balance as an all-rounder. I see no reason why Hardik Pandya can't become that for India," Kohli had said at the post-match press conference of first Test, after India took a 1-0 lead in the series.
