Kuldeep led an inspired bowling attack with his left-arm wrist spin to flatten the Sri Lankan batting. Skipper Dinesh Chandimal top-scored with 48 before falling to ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Pace spearhead Mohammed Shami struck early to get openers Upul Tharanga and Dimuth Karunaratne caught behind for 4 and 5 respectively in the first five overs of the innings. The hosts suffered from regular wicket-fall as Pandya also chipped in with the ball to get former captain Angelo Mathews trapped lbw for nought.India's dominance continues as Sri Lanka are bowled out for 135 on Day 2 of the third Test, still trailing by 352 runs #SLvIND pic.twitter.com/faau98GZL6

Kuldeep, playing just his second Test, then turned on the heat to rattle the Sri Lankan middle-order and combine with Ashwin to wipe off the Sri Lankan tail in the final session. All-rounder Pandya remained the star of the day with his 96-ball 108 that lifted India to a challenging first innings total after the visitors resumed on 329-6. Pandya was out to spinner Lakshan Sandakan, who claimed his first five-wicket Test haul, on the third ball of the second session as India's innings ended without adding to the lunch total.A 352-run first-innings lead for India, who have enforced the follow-on https://t.co/KyBfbsht3r #SLvIND
