Kasun Rajitha hops and tucks it to the leg side. The UltraEdge confirms that the bat is involved. Mohammed Siraj appeals for lbw, he continues to plead as the umpire gives it a long thought before raising the finger. The ball deflects off the pads and trickles onto the stumps. He starts by saying that it is just a by product of the intent he has. Mohammed Siraj completed his quota of 10 overs in the 21st over but could not take a fi-fer this time around, but he managed to single-handedly take down the Sri Lanka side here. India have completed the whitewash here with a comprehensive win in the final and third ODI by 317 runs. Mohammad Shami leaked a few runs in his first two overs, but Mohammed Siraj took care of the bowling attack from the other end, as he struck twice in his first two overs to put Sri Lanka on the back foot instantly. Also says that he is a rare talent and he has grown strength from strength in the last couple of years. The whole lines-up and get set for a group picture and get the party started. Rohit Sharma, the victorious skipper, says that it was a great series and there were a lot of positives throughout the series. Rohit Sharma is handed the trophy, who passes it on to Mohammed Siraj and asks the seamer to begin the celebrations.

Gill and Kohli propelled India to 390/5 and it was followed by a clinical bowling performance led by Siraj that wrapped the tourists up for merely 73 runs.

Mohammad Shami and Kuldeep Yadav also chipped in with two wickets apiece to finish the job with the ball for India.

Rohit missed out on a fifty after he fell to Chamika Karunaratne but Gill kept up the attack with Kohli and raised his second ODI hundred, celebrating it with a fist-bump.

BIGGEST-EVER ODI WIN! Siraj cannot get a five-fer even as there was some manufactured drama late in his spell with a review. But the innings is wrapped up ...

A wicket finally for Sri Lanka, but India have a strong base to build from already. They'd be hoping to mount a better challenge with the bat to avoid a clean sweep. The match is a dead rubber with India having already clinched the series, but there could be yet some moves that hint at what the larger goal is. The strength is the weakness too. Hasaranga now is done in by that and the offstump is pegged back. It's a classical delivery, that spins in and shoots through the bat-pad gap to hit the stumps. But he gets there as soon as the match resumes. Shami jogs up to bowl some gentle deliveries off the last two balls in a bid to give Siraj a chance to pick up his five-fer! This time he edges behind and India have Gill at a very wide slip. Karunaratne had defended a ball back and held his pose when Siraj threw down the stumps. There is a bit of inward movement with the ball also skidding on. The concussion substitute Wellalage hits one straight to point and that's the eighth down!
