That's it from us folks! A good game overall and hope you enjoyed our coverage. Goodnight!

Kohli: It was quite an exciting game of cricket. It gave us a tough test out there but was good to come through. Was good to see two 100-run stands in a 230 run chase and then a collapse. Strange game but good that we came through. You want to give the other guys in the team a go too (on the batting reshuffle). We got out to good deliveries. Akila bowled an outstanding spell. Even batting at No.3, I would have still gotten out to that delivery. It's difficult when you haven't seen the guy but now we will be more careful. Credit to him; he capitalized on the hesitation because we were not reading him too well. He attacked the stumps.

Tharanga: Disappointed. We came very close and couldn't finish it. Milind and Kapu gave us a good start. Dhoni and Bhuvneshwar played well. Dananjaya bowled very well. We ha da few overs to go, that's why we kept him for the last few overs. Fielding and bowling has improved. Dananjaya and Milinda were brilliant.

Dananjaya - Player of the Match: I use my variations and kept using it in the first eight overs. I had my wedding yesterday, and came back to the hotel in Kandy at 10pm. (Translated from Sinhalese)

Gokul and Rex Clementine have identified a few central figures in this yet-to-simmer battle.

There's MS Dhoni with a bevy of international games to play in continuum , Hardik Pandya who refuses to shun the spotlight from his all-rounder bio. The spotlight has clearly left Lasith Malinga, according to Rex, but the legend that Malinga is... will like to believe he has a couple of final tricks up his sleeve.

Amidst the build up, if it got lost somewhere, this is Kaushik Rangarajan on the blog. Will the procession continue? Will Rohit's Sri Lankan fortunes turn? Let's see together!
