The Chinnaswamy pitch used for the second Test between India and Sri Lanka is rated as ‘below average’ by the ICC. Match Referee Javagal Srinath rated the surface as such saying that it was not an even contest between bat and ball after India won by 238 runs in three days and won the series too.

India won the second Test against Sri Lanka by 238 runs in three days and also won the Test series with a clean sweep. A hilarious incident occurred on the field during Sri Lanka’s second innings as Rohit Sharma teased the umpire by pretending to take a DRS call in a over by Ravindra Jadeja.

Shreyas Iyer scored half-centuries in both innings of the Bangalore Test on a spin-friendly track and played a crucial role in the team's victory. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has predicted that Shreyas Iyer will be the next big thing in Indian cricket in next six-eight months.
