India thump Sri Lanka by 259 runs

By John Cheeran
Team India has proved in a convincing manner that there are no places in this side, for those who living in the past.
India thumped Sri Lanka by 259 runs in the third and final Test to win the Videocon Cup Test series 2-0.
And also to remind those who are out in the cold that, they will have to push their way into this side not with politicking, but with sterling shows on the field.
Anil Kumble, playing in his 100th Test, took five wickets in the second innings while Harbhajan Singh added three wickets to his first innings tally of seven. Harbhajan won the Man-of-the-match award while Kumble was the Man-of-the-Series.
Stand-in skipper Virender Sehwag has kept the winning momentum unleashed by Rahul Dravid and coach Greg Chappell.
If the BCCI President Sharad Pawar does not slip into the role of Super Selector to drag Sourav Ganguly into the team, skipper Rahul Dravid has a chance to carry forward the good work in the new year.
