Colombo, Sri Lanka: The 3-test series ended at a stalemate of 1-1. Two results with a dull draw in-between. India retained the Series trophy due to the last series win. The 3 tests were perfect platform for batsmen. Yet, only 11 players could aggregate above 100 scores in 3 tests. One of them was a bowler. Irony!!
