Offspinner Ravi Ashwin recorded the best bowling figures by an Indian in Twenty20 internationals to help his side beat Sri Lanka by nine wickets on Sunday and clinch the series 2-1.
Ashwin ripped through the top order with 4-8, improving on his own best of 4-11 against Australia at the World Twenty20 two years ago, as Sri Lanka was bowled out in only 18 overs for 82, its lowest T20 total.
Suresh Raina chipped in with 2-6 while Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja took a wicket each as the Sri Lankan batsmen fell to indiscreet shots on a pitch aiding turn.
India reached 84-1 in only 13.5 overs with opener Shikhar Dhawan top-scoring in the third and final match with an unbeaten 46.
