Indian Skipper Virat Kohli's blazing blade ensured a comfortable seven-wicket win in the lone Twenty20 game as the visitors completed a 9-0 rout of Sri Lanka, here on Wednesday.

It was the first time that an Indian cricket team registered an all-win record across formats in an overseas tour.

Chasing a competitive 171 for win, Kohli led from the front with a fluent 82 off 54 deliveries while Manish Pandey played the second fiddle by remaining unbeaten on a career-best 51 to guide India home comfortably with four balls to spare.

At the R. Premadasa stadium, they put on 119 runs off 78 balls for the third wicket to set up this win as the visitors completed a clean sweep on this tour, having won the Test series 3-0 and the ODI series 5-0 previously.
