    What's the story

    Spinners dominated the proceedings in the recently concluded three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka.

    It was a low-scoring affair as not even a single 250-plus score was witnessed across the six innings, a rarity in modern-day cricket.

    SL put up a better display and recorded a 2-0 win.

    Here we look at the three-match series which witnessed most wickets fell to spin.

    IND vs SL, 2024 - 43 wickets

    As per ESPNcricinfo, spinners took 43 of the 54 fallen wickets in the recent IND-SL series.

    Notably, India lost nine wickets apiece to spin in each of the three games.

    Jeffrey Vandersay (8 wickets), Dunith Wellalage (7), and skipper Charith Asalanka (6) were SL's key performers.

    For India, Washington Sundar (5), Axar Patel (4), and Kuldeep Yadav (4) did well in the spin department.
