If one had to describe India’s nine-wicket victory over Sri Lanka today in one word, it would be ‘intimidating’. That’s the kind of cricket India has played on the island nation this year. Venues have changed, the format has changed, one thing that has remained constant is India’s domination.
With the bat, Sri Lanka lost track during the middle overs. They slipped from 139-1 to 216-10, courtesy to some impatient shots and insensible batting. In the second innings, they were lucky enough to get Rohit Sharma’s wicket. However, post that, they had no clue whatsoever to stop Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli. India chased the target comfortably in the 29th over.
Watch how Twitterati reacted to India’s win:
Describe India's tour to Sri Lanka in one word—I'll choose 'lopsided'. You?

At this rate Shikhar 'बेफ़िक्र' Dhawan will need an extra bag and excess baggage allowance for the return trip…too many 🏆

Way too easy for India. They wouldn't mind a tougher game either

I don't think @SDhawan25 is aware of any fielders on the ground………

Only plus for Sri Lanka is Kohli can't ask them to follow on #SLvIND

It's only a small chase but give it to a couple of Delhi guys and they want to get it done rapidly #SLvIND
