"Cheating karta hai tu!" - Fans hail Bumrah, Shami as India quicks torment Sri Lanka in Bengaluru

As expected, India have dominated Day 1 of the pink-ball Test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru. Right from winning the toss, everything that could possibly go right for the hosts has gone their way and they will be delighted to have complete control of the game after just a day's play.

On a rank turner, the hosts did well to post a total of 252, thanks to a sensational 92 from Shreyas Iyer and a fine counter-attack from Rishabh Pant. In reply, the Indian pacers Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah wreaked havoc as Sri Lanka ended the day reeling at 86/6, trailing by a massive 166 runs.

Fans on Twitter hailed Team India for another dominant performance at home. They were especially thrilled to see the pacers dominate on a pitch that was supposed to aid the spinners more. Here are some of the reactions after the end of the day's play:

India pile on more misery over beleaguered visitors

Sri Lanka will be disappointed with the number of runs that they conceded, given that there was excessive help for the spinners from the pitch. The hosts were clever enough to feast on the poor deliveries and were patient enough to leave the good ones.

Iyer once again proved why he is an asset in red-ball cricket and made his claim for a permanent Test spot stronger after a fantastic performance with the bat. He wasn't shying away from taking on the spinners and that disrupted their line and length.

It looked like the Indian spinners would be all over the visitors like a rash. However, it was the pace and swing of Bumrah and Shami that did the damage under lights. Bumrah's three wickets and Shami's two meant that Sri Lanka were in deep trouble.

Axar Patel also chipped in with a wicket and the hosts were in the driver's seat to seal a 2-0 series win. Sri Lanka will need to bat really well to ensure that the game goes beyond Day 3.
