Mendis Demolish Continued in Test Series!

The man of the series man Mendis demolished the Indian batting and their confidence. It all started in the Asia Cup final where India was beaten comfortably. His wicket taking ability has improved over time and that showed in the 3 test match series.

Records:

1. He become the highest wicket taker in a 3 test match series for Sri Lanka surpassing Muraitharan;
2. In a test debut series, he is the highest wicket taker in the 3 test match series;
3. He took 5 wickets in an innings twice;
4. He took 10 wickets in a match once;

Though he demonstrated his bowling skills against India and he was on top followed by the Indian batsmen, we have to see the consistency in performance and skills in future series.

He dismissed Laxman 5 times, Dravid 4 times and then Gambhir 3 times. He also dismissed Tendular once in the last innings of the series--his ambition.

Well done Mendis!
