India's biggest away victories
Rajneesh Gupta
August 03, 2008

Harbhajan Singh [Images] and Ishant Sharma bowled India to a series-levelling 170-run victory on the fourth day of the second Test against Sri Lanka [Images] in Galle on Sunday.

Sri Lanka, set 307 to win after bowling out India for 269 in the morning, were dismissed for 136 in 47.3 overs.

India's brave fight-back from a humiliating innings and 239 run defeat in Colombo leaves the series tied 1-1 with the final Test starting on Friday in Colombo.
