IND vs SL: Watch - Ravichandran Ashwin Has The Last Laugh As He Cleans Up Suranga Lakmal Right After Being Hit For A Boundary

Indian premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had his revenge against Sri Lankan player, Suranga Lakmal, during Day 2 of the second Test in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Ashwin was struck for a boundary by Lakmal, who was trying to have his time in the sun in his final game. However, the entertainment didn’t last long as Ashwin, being the wily bowler he is, brought out his bag of tricks.

Lakmal failed to read the carrom ball from Ashwin’s hand and ended up playing down the wrong line. The ball whizzed past the blade and crashed into the middle and off stump, providing India their eighth wicket.

Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah provided the breakthrough in the third over of the day. After he was denied a wicket because of failure to take a review, Bumrah resorted to the bouncer to get his man, Lasith Embuldeniya.

He went on to complete his five-wicket haul, his first in India and one that came on a track tailor-made for the spinners. Sri Lanka started out the day on 86/6 after a painful final session on Day 1.

They were done in by the pace duo of Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, who took three and two wickets each. Apart from Angelo Mathews, there was nobody else who stayed and fought for their wicket.
