The visitors are batting with intent and are looking to go all the way for a victory against India on the final day of the third Test. India won the test series 1-0. Dhananjaya de Silva along with Roshen Silva held the Lankan innings and hit boundaries at regular intervals to keep the team in the game at all times of the match. Not for a single moment was the Lankan team under pressure as they tackled the Indian bowlers carefully.

However, centurion de Silva had to walk back to the pavilion due to an injury, which gave India a passage to take wickets and register a commanding victory. Post-lunch, Niroshan Dickwella, who came in place of injured de Silva, played aggressively and took Lanka closer to victory. De Silva's innings was the highlight of the first two sessions as he was hardly troubled by the Indian bowlers en route his third Test hundred his innings was studded with 15 boundaries and a six off Ravichandran Ashwin. Dickwella looks at his balcony, and gets the signal to shake hands. So it's a draw here in Delhi. A tremendous effort from Sri Lanka to save the game.
