Virat Kohli's ton helps seal victory

Virat Kohli's century laid the foundations for India's crushing 304-run victory over Sri Lanka on the fourth day of the first Test in Galle.

India, who had a first-innings lead of 309 after centuries from Shikhar Dhawan (190) and Cheteshwar Pujara (153), dominated throughout and Kohli's unbeaten 103 helped set Sri Lanka 550 to win.

With both Asela Gunaratne and Rangana Herath unable to bat because of injury, Sri Lanka subsided to 245 all out - Ravichandran Ashwin taking 3-65.

The second Test begins in Colombo on 3 August, where India will look to wrap up the three-match series.

Kohli TON did not HELP seal a victory against this hapless 9 man Team.

without the world's best Spinner and their best Bat being injured !!!

It was merely a personal decision by him as Captain :

to NOT enforce the Follow On

IN order to secure his personal 45th TON on the records book !

this is tooo obvious ! with 2 Lankans injured and off the Field

Guess if I was team Captain I would do likewise ?

discuss.

I personally thinks that follow on decision was wrong. They could have won the match with inning if they had gone for follow on. But Cricket is weird game and full of weird decisions too. Lol
