India secured victory in the Galle Test after a fourth day in which they amassed enough runs to leave Sri Lanka needing a record chase. Rishabh Pant's outstanding innings of 66 off 69 balls propelled India to bat the hosts out of the Test, while Mohammed Siraj, Manav Suthar, and Prasidh Krishna took crucial wickets. Despite Sri Lanka's strong bowling, Asith Fernando's impressive figures of 4 for 31 highlighted their best performance by a Sri Lankan quick at home since 2019.
The match took an unpredictable turn with rain interruptions, but India managed to navigate the challenges and emerge victorious.
