After the hosts won the toss and elected to bowl, Lanka started on a solid note, despite the early dismissal of Danushka Gunathilaka. Upul Tharanga along with Sadeera Samarawickrama continued the charge and look set for a big score before Indian bowlers bounced back.
Placed comfortably at 136-2, Thisara Perera & Co. bundled out for a paltry 215 in the end as the spin twins of India, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal ran riot.
In the second innings, India made light work of the chase despite losing skipper Rohit Sharma early on. Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan struck a 135-run stand to take the game away from Lanka’s hands.
Also, Dhawan smashed his 12th ODI ton after becoming second fastest Indian to score 4000 ODI runs.

It is the 8th consecutive bilateral series win for India and the first one for Rohit Sharma as India captain.
Here are some tweets from the cricket fraternity:
Another series & another victory. Great all-round performance by the entire team. Coming back & winning the series after an unexpected defeat in the first game is truly commendable, #TeamIndia. My best wishes for the T20 series. #INDvSL

Well played @BCCI and winning the series. SL had a good start but couldn’t stay in the game. Lessons to learn and more hard work.

Afraid India have toyed with Sri Lanka's bowling here. And Dhawan has just run away with the game.

A big feature of this young Indian team is that whoever is thrown an opportunity to make a mark, has grabbed their chances. Chahal, Kuldeep, Shreyas… great sight @BCCI #INDvSL

India win their 8th consecutive bilateral ODI series.
Excellent ton from Dhawan. Wrist spinners rocked SL middle order.
Find of the series – Shreyas Iyer – would say he missed two tons but he has been very impressive
This series will be remembered for Rohit's 208#INDvSL— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang) December 17, 2017
