Offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin caused a dramatic Sri Lanka collapse as India completed a crushing 278-run victory in the second Test in Colombo on Monday to level the three-match series. Ashwin grabbed 5-42 as Sri Lanka, set an improbable victory target of 413 runs, were bowled out for 134 in their second innings soon after lunch on the fifth day at the P. Sara Oval. Legspinner Amit Mishra chipped in with three wickets as the hosts lost their last eight batsmen for 62 runs after resuming at 2-72, giving Virat Kohli his first win as Test captain in his fifth Test in charge. A brief spell of heavy rain forced an early lunch with nine wickets down, but the weather cleared for India to finish the match in the second over after resumption. The defeat denied retiring Sri Lankan great Kumar Sangakkara a fairytale farewell in his last international match. The left-hander was dismissed for 18 on Sunday.
