India and Sri Lanka cricket series recently was a totally one sided game. Indian players defeated the Sri Lankan team in most of the matches with immense ease and proved to be the ultimate winner.
The way Team India performed there, it was clear since Day 1 that they have arrived with full preparations. Talk about batting or bowling, India performed like a Boss in both ways. On the other side, Sri Lankan team just couldn’t find a way to stand against the force which Team India proved to be.

If left lying around after Test #1, then it is deliberate. Reverse psychology.
