About 4 overs later, Indian fielders made Kusal Mendis pay for his mix-up between the wickets with Dinesh Chandimal, with Kuldeep Yadav getting the former run-out \as R Ashwin failed to hit the stumps after putting a brilliant fielding effort at mid-on.

The Post Tea session couldn't offer the hosts any respite, as Kuldeep rose to the occasion and rattled the batsmen by taking 4 wickets in the first innings.

With a lead of 352 runs, skipper Virat Kohli decided to enforce follow-on on Sri Lanka, hoping to get as many wickets on Day 2 as possible in attempt to probably wrap-up the match and series in three days.
