NEW DELHI: Dhananjaya de Silva’s heroic hundred and Roshen Silva’s gallant, unbeaten 74 helped secure Sri Lanka’s morale-boosting draw in final Test against India, who won the three-match series 1-0 on Wednesday. Playing his first match in the series, De Silva batted through pain to score 119 before retiring hurt. Debutant Silva and Niroshan Dickwella then batted out the final session as the tourists secured their second draw of the series at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. India’s ninth consecutive Test series triumph puts the world number one into an elite club which also includes Australia and England. Even after his exit, Silva and Niroshan Dickwella (44 not out) did not play defensively, raising 94 runs and denying India a wicket in the final session.
