CAPTAIN FAILS: This was the fifth time Anil Kumble (0-120) went wicketless in an innings and conceded more than 100 runs. Four out of those five times India have lost the Test
BUTTER FINGERS: Dinesh Karthik made a mess of the chance to keep wickets in the absence of MS Dhoni. His misses behind the stumps proved costly.
CENTURIES GALORE: Four of the Sri Lankan top six went on to reach the three-figure mark. Hence, the home side managed to reach a mammoth score in the first innings.
INEPT BATTING: The famed Indian batting failed miserably to live up to its reputation. The 'Big Three' - Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid - collectively scored 90 runs in the two innings.
THE M FACTOR: Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis were at their magical best, outfoxing the Indians at every step. The spin duo accounted for 19 of the 20 wickets to fall.
