Rohit Sharma couldn’t have asked for a better start to his captaincy stint for team India in the longest format of the game. After whitewashing the Sri Lankan cricket team in the 3-match T20I series, the Rohit-led team India defeated the visitors by an innings and 222 runs in the first Test.
Riding on the “Rockstar” Ravindra Jadeja’s all-round heroics, the Indian side ended a 2-match losing streak in Tests as they put behind the defeat against South Africa earlier this year to return to winning ways.
Ravindra Jadeja single-handedly dominated the Sri Lankans with both bat and ball as he became only the 6th player to hit a 150-plus score and pick up a 5-wicket haul in a Test match. Earlier Jadeja scored a stunning 175 not out to help India post a mammoth total of 574/8 declared in their first innings. Jadeja finished with the figures of 4/46 in the 2nd innings to follow up the 5-wicket haul that he picked in the first innings.
All thanks to his stellar performance captain Rohit Sharma did not have any hesitation to enforce the follow-on as the Indian cricket team could only bowl 65 overs in their first innings.
India’s senior player Ravi Ashwin also weaved magic with the bat as he also picked 4 wickets in the 2nd innings. The off-spinner started by removing opener Dimutth Karunaratne before getting the big wicket of Pathum Nissanka, who had hit a gritty 61 not out in the first innings.
Jadeja and Ashwin ran through the Sri Lankan batting line-up. While pacer Mohammed Shami picked 2 wickets, Jasprit Bumrah and Jayant Yadav went wicketless.
Meanwhile, fans on social media were thrilled with the amazing win of the Indian cricket team. Several fans, experts, and cricketers took to Twitter to hail the brilliant performances given by the Indian players. There were many who came up with hilarious memes and jokes while reacting to India’s win.
Among many, a young fan of Rohit Sharma took to her Twitter and took a hilarious dig at Virat. In her Tweet, the girl shared a picture of herself from the stadium, wherein she can be seen holding a placard with a hilarious message.

This is how low IQ weirdos mock one of India’s greatest players, the Captain who revived Test cricket and will almost certainly be the closest competitor to Tendulkar’s records.
Attack his wife, kids, etc. coz even when he ain’t scoring 100s, he regularly outscores your boy. https://t.co/rcXptDLI3z
