Ravindra Jadeja completed a milestone of his own, by becoming the fastest to 150 Test wickets amongst left-arm spinners. He overtook the likes of Vinoo Mankad, Rangana Herath and Bishan Singh Bedi. His 150th wicket was Dhananjaya de Silva, knocked over first ball by a superb delivery that turned across his defensive prod.

Jadeja played the perfect foil to a rampant Ashwin, who completed a five-wicket haul, tucking up Lankan batsmen with his immaculate precision. Ashwin had his 150th in 29 matches, three fewer than Jadeja.

Fastest to 150 Test wickets by Indians:

- Ashwin- 29 matches

- Jadeja - 32 matches

- Prasanna/Kumble - 34 matches

- Harbhajan - 35 matches

- Chandrasekhar - 36 matches

- Kapil Dev - 39 matches
