India in Sri Lanka Test series, 2015:
This was Virat Kohli’s first overseas tour as skipper. And, as fate would have it, the young superstar of Indian cricket, known for his fearless style, faced a stern Test as Sri Lanka registered a superb 63-run win at Galle after being dismissed for just 183 in the first innings.
With a 1-0 lead and a buoyed confidence, the hosts were ready to take on India with a fresh approach. However, Kohli and his men, gave a strong reply, went on to register emphatic wins in the remainder of two Tests at Colombo’s P Sara Oval and Sinhalese Sports Club. The second Test was won by the visitors by a 278-run margin. The final Test was also a sort of one-sided affair witnessed as India snap victory by 117-run margin.
