India vs Sri Lanka Tests March 2022: India Win 2-0 — Jadeja 175* and 9 Wickets at Mohali (6th Player in Test History with 150+ and Five-For in Same Match), Bumrah 5/24 at Bengaluru, Pant Player of Series

India won the 2-Test home series against Sri Lanka in March 2022 by 2-0, with both matches completed inside 3 days — a dominant whitewash in which India's all-round depth overwhelmed Sri Lanka in subcontinental conditions. The series was officially designated as part of the 2021/22 ICC World Test Championship cycle. Player of the Series: Rishabh Pant (185 runs across the two matches). 1st Test PCA Stadium Mohali (March 4-6, 2022): India won by an innings and 222 runs — India 574/8 declared; Sri Lanka 174 (1st innings) & 178 (2nd innings). India's 574/8d was built around Ravindra Jadeja's 175 not out (career-best Test score at the time), with contributions from Rishabh Pant (96), Hanuma Vihari (58), and R. Ashwin (61). Jadeja then took 5/41 in Sri Lanka's 1st innings and 4/46 in the 2nd innings — match figures of 9/87. His combination of 175* and 5/41 made him only the 6th player in Test history to score 150 or more and take a five-wicket haul in the same match. He missed becoming the first player ever to score 150+ and take 10 wickets in the same Test by a single wicket. Ashwin took 4/47 in Sri Lanka's 2nd innings. Sri Lanka's best scores were Kusal Nissanka 61* (1st innings) and Niroshan Dickwella 51* (2nd innings). Player of the Match: Jadeja. 2nd Test M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru (March 12-14, 2022): India won by 238 runs — India 252 (1st innings) & 303/9 declared (2nd innings); Sri Lanka 109 (1st innings) & 208 (2nd innings). Jasprit Bumrah took 5/24 in Sri Lanka's 1st innings, dismissing them for 109. Shreyas Iyer scored 92 in India's 1st innings and 67 in India's 2nd innings declaration. India set Sri Lanka 447 to win; Sri Lanka were bowled out for 208. Player of the Match: Shreyas Iyer.

Jadeja's Rare Double: 175* and Nine Wickets at Mohali

Ravindra Jadeja's performance at Mohali — 175 not out (batting) and 9 wickets (5/41 + 4/46, bowling) — placed him in the most exclusive category of Test all-round performances. Before Jadeja, only five players in all of Test history had scored 150 or more and taken a five-wicket haul in the same Test match: Ian Botham (England), Vinoo Mankad (India), Sir Garfield Sobers (West Indies), Aubrey Faulkner (South Africa), and Nasim-ul-Ghani (Pakistan). Jadeja became the 6th. He also came within a single wicket of becoming the first player in Test history to combine 150+ runs and 10 wickets in the same match — he finished with 9 in the match. Jadeja's 175* came off 228 balls (17 fours, 3 sixes) and was, at the time, the highest Test score by an Indian No. 7 batter. India's declaration at 574/8 turned the match one-directional from the end of the first day, and Sri Lanka never threatened to bat India out of the game across either innings.

Bumrah 5/24 at Bengaluru: Sri Lanka's Lowest Total Against India

In the 2nd Test at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Jasprit Bumrah's 5/24 in Sri Lanka's 1st innings was the decisive blow in a match India won comfortably. Sri Lanka's 109 all out — Bumrah taking 5 of the 10 wickets with the ball moving off the seam — was their lowest total in a Test in India at the time. India had made 252 in their 1st innings (Iyer 92 the main contributor), giving them a 143-run lead. The declaration at 303/9 (Iyer 67 again the anchor) set Sri Lanka 447 to win in their 2nd innings. Ashwin and the India spin battery dismissed Sri Lanka for 208 in the 2nd innings, completing India's 238-run win in 3 days. Iyer's consistency across both innings — 92 and 67 — earned him the Player of the Match award. Rishabh Pant's series runs of 185 (96 at Mohali + more at Bengaluru) made him the Player of the Series, a reflection of his increasingly central role in India's batting order across formats.
