The India cricket team toured Sri Lanka between July and September 2017 to play three Test matches, five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and a Twenty20 International match.[1][2][3] Ahead of the Test series, the teams played a two-day warm-up match in Colombo.[4][5][6]
Dinesh Chandimal was appointed the new Test captain of Sri Lanka following Sri Lanka's ODI defeat to Zimbabwe earlier in the month.[7] However, before the first Test, Chandimal contracted pneumonia, ruling him out of the match.[8] Rangana Herath was later confirmed as captain of the side for the first Test.[9] Chandimal returned to the squad as captain for the second Test.[10] India won the Test series 3–0. It was India's first whitewash away from home in a series of three Tests or more.[11] It was also the first time they had won three Tests in an away series since beating New Zealand 3–1 in 1967–68.[12]
The second ODI of the series in Pallekele was Sri Lanka's 800th ODI match.[13] India won the first three ODIs, therefore winning the series. It was their eighth consecutive ODI series win against Sri Lanka.[14] This defeat, along with previous defeats against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, prompted the Sri Lanka selection committee to resign.[15] India went on to win the ODI series 5–0; this was the first time Sri Lanka had suffered a whitewash at home in ODIs.[16] India won the one-off T20I match by 7 wickets,[17] thus completing a 9-0 clean sweep against Sri Lanka in all three formats of international cricket in a bilateral series.[18]
