       At the end,Galle has hosted the homeside spectacular victory.It was Herath and Chandimal's show driving Srilanka to victory by 63 runs.Indian batting order fails in the second innings.

                On the 69th Independence day,India was standing ready to salute the Indian cricket team for their expected victory as their outstanding all round performance till day 3 in the first test against Srilanka always kept India in a commanding position in the game.In Srilankas second innings Indians failed a little bit in controlling Dinesh Chandimal in their second innings as he fought brilliantly with the bat scoring a beauty of 162 runs when Srilankans were struggling to keep up their position in the match.At last Indians were successfull in restricting them to give a lead of 175 runs.Everyone all over India were sitting confidently in front of the TV to applaud Indians on their victory on Srilanka.All of a sudden in their second innings Indians started losing things off their hands.The waters of victory changed its course towards Srilanka as Indians found it very difficult to row against it.This time it was Indians turn to fight back for control over game.Yes,it was Rangana Herath,the Spinning spearhead of Srilanka team was the person behind all this.All praised Ashwin for his beautiful figures in the past innings and Herath boldly accepted the challenge.

RAHANE DEPARTING AFTER HEAVY STRUGGLE

He took 7 wickets with an impeccable line,length and spin of the ball as youngster Kaushal seconded him by picking up 3 wickets for Srilanka and quench their thirst for victory.Though Dhawan and Rahane were players who gave a stand to the Indian batting line up during their respective time on the field batting all others along with Indian skipper failed to put up some runs on board.Rohit Sharma and K.L.Rahul are now pointed to be the major failures all through this test as they failed with their bat in both the innings.Dhawan says that he gave a knock which was needed for India from his side and he seems to be speaking right as the opener scored and also gave a good standing and commanding position for his team.The second innings had no one with a  great knock like the one's from Dhawan and Kohli in their first innings to support the team.And finally this stands to be a great tribute to Sangakkara and Chandimal and Herath are the players to be credited for making this happen.

The Galle also hosted the lap of honour of Sangakkara when Srilankan players carried Sanga on their shoulders praising him for his stupendous performance all the while for Srilanka.Sanga waved his hand amid the cheers of crowd saying a very good bye to his cricket.All smiles in and out of the field on Srilankans face on their victory but a bit of sadness somewhere deep in their hearts as they are not going to see Sanga amongst them in team as player.

Not only them everyone is going to miss a great player and his great knocks in cricket field.Indian players also come down to the field to congratulate for all his success and wishing him a great life ahead.Sangakkara gets a memento from Southern Province Cricket Association and Cricbuzz donates 5000USD on his retirement.Speaking of the match Herath says that it was a great comeback into the game.He adds that a chat with his spin coach about use of the body more helped them make this happen.Meanwhile the losing side captain Virat says that they failed to captailise after early fall of wickets and thats the point from where the Srilankans took over them in their second innings.He appreciates his boys for their performance in the first days of the match.At the end it was fabulous tribute to the lion Sanga and an astounding performance by Herath and Chandimal.This leaves Indian team with many more lessons to learn and execute in coming future.Congratulating Srilanka cricket team and wishing the both the teams a better luck in the coming test matches.GOOD BYE SANGAKKARA,THE GAME WILL MISS YOU...!!!
