6 times India whitewashed a team 5-0

#2 Sri Lanka, 2014- India

The victorious Indian team after beating Sri Lanka

In November 2014, Sri Lanka toured India for a 5-match One Day International series. The Lankans had the likes of Tillekaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena in their ranks. Beating them didn’t look like an easy task before the start of the series.

Nevertheless, India came out all guns blazing and stormed their way to a triumph by a margin of 5-0. It was only in the last game when Sri Lanka looked like giving India a run for their money.

However, Virat Kohli’s awe-inspiring knock of 139 runs in 126 balls guided India to a victory by three wickets, which also completed the series whitewash in favour India.
