The 23-year-old achieved the feat by cleaning up Milinda Siriwardana's wicket in the 48th over. The right-arm medium pacer had taken wickets of Niroshan Dickwella, Kusal Mendis, Lahiru Thirimanne and Akila Dananjaya.

Bumrah produced career best figures of 10-2-27-5. Here's how his overs progressed at Pallekele: 1-0-4-0, 2-1-4-1, 3-2-4-1, 4-2-8-2, 5-2-9-2, 6-2-10-2, 7-2-11-, 8-2-13-4, 9-2-24-5 and 10-2-27-5.

Earlier, Lankan captain Chamara Kapugedera won the toss and elected to bat first. But once again, the home side failed to post a big total, just making 217 for nine in their allotted 50 overs play.

India have won the first two encounters of the five-match ODi series.

Bumrah made his India debut in an ODI match against Australia at Sydeny in 2016. He has so far played 19 ODI matches (including this match) taking 37 wickets. In T20Is, he has taken 33 wickets in 24 matches. He is yet to play Test cricket.
