Zaheer with his five wicket haul

India races to the top of the test cricket rankings table with a thumping victory against Sri Lanka in the third and final match of the series.

Harbajan bowling to the Muralitharan, ball takes the edge of the bat and the ball went on to the Dhoni gloves. Thats the end of the Sri Lankans second innings. India races to the No.1 position with an Innings and 24 runs victory. What a victory this is? This is the second innings victory of the series. Zaheer got five wickets.

“Fantastic to be at this position. I have to be waiting a long time to get to this position. In fact just not me, entire nation. I thought Gary(Kristen) and Paddy(Paddy Upton), along with Robin Singh and Venkatesh Prasad, all credit to then for handling the team brilliantly. Also all the players have worked very hard in the last 18 months. Right from No.1 batter to No.7, we have a strong batting line-up.”, Tendulkar after the victory. He adds, “No retirement as long as I am enjoying the game”, in return to the Yuvraj comments of Grand Pa… in a jovial manner.

The very interesting fact about this series is, No match is played for all the four innings.

Man of the Match and Man of the series is none other than Virendar Sehwag. He is the only difference between the teams. And there was celebrations all around.
