#3 India 622/9 versus Sri Lanka, August 3-6, 2017

Pujara and Rahane propelled India to 600 plus score

India posted more than 600 runs seven times in the past year. The Indian team declared at 622/9 after tea on the second day of the second Test. The lower middle-order contributed to notch up a massive total for the visitors.

The dependable No.3 batsman continued his rich form with a patient 133. Deputy-skipper in Tests, Rahane scored a well-deserved 132. Four other players, including the likes of bowling all-rounders Ashwin and Jadeja, smashed fifties.

In the first innings, Sri Lanka made a paltry 183 runs. After following-on, the Tigers showed some grit and made close to 400 runs. Ultimately, it was too little too late, as India won by an innings and 53 runs. The off-spinner and the left arm slow bowler took a five-for in the first and second innings respectively.
