Kanpur: S Sreesanth marked his return to international cricket with a devastating display of seam bowling to put India on the threshold of a remarkable victory in the second Test against a hapless Sri Lanka here on Thursday.
Sreesanth, staging a comeback after being in the wilderness for close to 18 months, snatched 5 for 75 in Sri Lanka's first innings and then drew first blood in the second innings leave the islanders in complete disarray.
With Sreesanth breathing fire, Sri Lanka's feeble first innings riposte wilted for 229, a whopping 413 runs behind the hosts' massive first innings total of 642. This was also India's highest first innings lead over the Lankans.
