India buried Sri Lanka under a mountain of runs to notch a comprehensive innings and 53-run victory in the second Test, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series in Colombo on Sunday.

The hosts put up their best batting show in the series so far in the second innings after following on, but were all-out for 386 despite centuries from opener Dimuth Karunaratne (141) and No 3 batsman Kusal Mendis (110).

It was Ravindra Jadeja (5/152 in 39 overs), who broke the resistance and wrapped up the innings to seal the win. He was adjudged the man of the match as well for his all-round show.

India have now won back-to-back away Test series in the island nation having clinched the previous edition in 2015 2-1.

Congratulations poured in for Team India from all quarters as they reinforced their dominance.
