In shocking turn of events, team India surrendered meekly to Sri Lanka's spin duo of Herath and Kaushal to lose the first test match by 63 runs in the first cricket Test against Sri Lanka.
Resuming the day on 23/1 , India never really get going losing wickets in regular interval. Only Ajinkya Rahane managed to provide some resistance with gritty 36. Dhawan scored a hit and miss 28.
Left arm spinner Rangana Herath scalped 7/48 and Tharindu Kaushal took 3/47. Lankans now have taken a 1-0 lead in the three match test series.
