India vs Sri Lanka: Team India is in a very strong position at the moment in the ongoing first test match at Mohali. After opting to bat first and posting 574/8 on the board in the 1st innings, India went on to restrict Sri Lanka at 174 and inflicted a follow-on upon the tourists.

This test is also Rohit Sharma's first test as a full-time India captain and is enjoying a good run of wins. Rohit has been spot-on with on-field decisions he took on the field. A similar incident was seen at the Mohali stadium when Rohit Sharma yet again proved the on-field umpire and sent a Lankan batter back to the Pavillion with his DRS. Rohit was also pumped up after the review and was seen clapping enthusiastically. 

This incident happened in the 58th over of Sri Lanka's first innings, Asalanka and Nissanka were at the crease for the tourists. Rohit Sharma handed the ball to his deputy to break this partnership. On the last ball of the over, Bumrah trapped Aslanka with a slower delivery as the ball caught the batter on his pads. The Indians went up in an appeal and umpire Nitin Menon adjudged the batter not out. Captain Rohit Sharma had a word or two with his teammates and ultimately decided to go for the review, and the replay showed three reds. Consequently, the on-field umpire had to change his decision and send the batter back to the Pavillion

While talking about the match, India's star-all rounder Ravindra Jadeja smacked 175* in the first innings while batting and then went on to dismiss 5 Lankan batters in the second innings. The tourists are at a similar bad stage in their second innings, having already lost 6 wickets and yet 279 runs behind while writing this piece.
