With a World Test Championship Final spot at stake, Sri Lanka gave their everything in a match for the history books but came up short in an instant classic. The Kiwis required 257 runs on a rain-interrupted Day 5 and were nearly kept to a tie but Kane Williamson's efforts ensured them the win.

Sanjay Manjrekar has stated that India will make it to the final of World Test Championship final as Sri Lanka are not capable of upsetting New Zealand in New Zealand. He also added that Australia’s victory in the last match has made things interesting and the fourth Test will be exhilarating.

India racked up a mammoth 317-run victory in the final ODI against Sri Lanka on Sunday to wrap up a 3-0 clean sweep. Virat Kohli stroked his 46th ODI century and Mohammed Siraj ran rampant with the ball as his peers deliberately avoided taking wickets to give him a chance to tally a five-for.

In a country that worships the game, Indian cricketers are idolized to no end, especially when it is someone of the stature of Virat Kohli. His fanfare was again evident on Sunday after a groundsman chose to keep the players waiting by clicking a selfie with a six-hit ball before returning it.
