All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja led the team with his all-round heroics in the first Test. Jadeja scored an unbeaten 175 from 228 balls including 17 fours and three sixes in his wonderful innings that helped India to put 574/8 on the scoreboard.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma declared the innings that denied Jadeja to score his maiden double-hundred in Test cricket. At the end of Day 2, Jadeja revealed that he was the one to signal to the team dressing room for declaration as the pitch was allowing turn in the final session.

On Day 3, Jadeja completed his Test career’s 10th five-wicket haul as he finished with 5/41 in the first innings as India enforced Sri Lanka to follow on after they bundled up on 174. Jadeja claimed four more wickets in the second innings to end his match figures with 9/87.
