NEW DELHI: Starting as overwhelming underdogs, Sri Lanka would have at least hoped for the toss of the coin going their way at the start of the third and the final Test match between India and Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Pallekele on Saturday. Rahul, at the other end, in his usual methodical way got his eye in before taking two boundaries of one Kumara over. Dinesh Chandimal, the Sri Lankan captain soon turned to his seam bowling part-timer Dimuth Karunaratne. Rahul got to his ninth Test fifty soon after.More than the lacklustre bowling, it was the fielding that let the hosts down. : India 329/6 (Dhawan 119, Rahul 85; Pushpakumara 3/40) vs Sri Lanka
