India, Aug. 28 -- Head coach Gautam Gambhir reflected on India's 1-0 series win over Sri Lanka while also praising opposition batter Sonal Dinusha for his fighting effort in Colombo. India had a strong chance to complete a 2-0 series sweep after enforcing the follow-on, but Dinusha stood in their way with an unbeaten century. The Indian bowlers needed four wickets on the final day to wrap up the innings and set up a chase, but managed only two.
