Sri Lanka may have thwarted India through the fourth day, but Zaheer Khan sliced through the remaining four wickets to take India to a 2-0 series win and the No. 1 spot in the ICC rankings. Zaheer started with a ripper in the first over to get rid of Kumar Sangakkara and finished his best performance of the series with his eighth five-wicket haul. This was the fourth time in the last four years that India had won two matches in a row; two of those braces came against Sri Lanka.

Virender Sehwag has said he is happy to have got "at least 293 runs" and was not disappointed at missing out on a record third Test triple-century.

"Not many people have got two triple centuries and followed that with 293," he said after the third day's play at Brabourne Stadium. "So there is nothing to be disappointed about."

Sehwag had moved from his overnight score of 284 to 293 when he tapped a flighted ball from Muttiah Muralitharan back to the bowler who took the catch on second attempt. "I tried to take my time, but maybe the ball was not there to be hit," he said. "I misjudged the length and the ball went straight into Murali's hands.
