How India shot out Sri Lanka for 183

India, led by R Ashwin, spun out the hosts in two sessions on day one after they had chosen to bat

Before the series Virat Kohli had promised aggression, and he got this from his opening bowlers. Dimuth Karunaratne was the first man out, edging a short one from Ishant Sharma to Ajinkya Rahane at gully for 9.
The other opener, Kaushal Silva, followed two balls after Karunaratne, attempting to hook Varun Aaron. But he might have been unlucky - it wasn't clear if there was glove involved and it seemed he was given out caught off the arm guard.
For obvious reasons, the spotlight was on Kumar Sangakkara, but even he could not last long - he became R Ashwin's first victim courtesy a fine reflex catch by KL Rahul at silly point.
Ashwin also claimed Lahiru Thirimanne, this time Ajinkya Rahane plucking an impressive low catch to his left at slip.
It was 60 for 5 after Ashwin got Jehan Mubarak for a duck.
Angelo Mathews counterattacked with a brisk half-century, but even he eventually fell to the fired-up Ashwin. And again, the offspinner was aided by a great piece of work in the field - this time from Rohit Sharma.
Dhammika Prasad became Ashwin's victim No. 5 - it took him just 10.3 overs to claim his fifth, his fastest five-for in Tests.
Amit Mishra, playing his first Test in four years, accounted for Dinesh Chandimal, who had been given an early life.
Mishra had two in two when he dismissed Tharindu Kaushal next ball with a googly.
Rangana Herath was the last man out, and Ashwin's sixth victim, but not before he added 23 quick, valuable runs.
