Leg-spinner Rohit Yadav (4-49) and pacer C Venkata (3-27) shared seven wickets among them as India U-19 beat Sri Lanka U-19 by 211 runs on the fourth day of the second Youth Test here on Thursday.

India U19 won the two-match series 1-0 after the first contest ended in a draw. It was a spirited comeback from Indians after they lost the preceding Youth ODI series 1-2.

Starting the day on 155 for four, chasing a distant target of 472, the home side was folded for 260 in 76.5 overs, shortly into the post-lunch session.
Skipper Vimath Dinsara, overnight 55, was the first to depart for 64, falling to pacer Pranav Raghavendra.

It was the last nail on Sri Lanka's hopes to at least extend the fight. Rohit Yadav (4/49), who backed the three-wicket haul of Venkata (3/27) the previous evening, soon ran through the lower order to reduce SL U19 to 242 for nine.

There was a token fight from Sethmika Seneviratne (42, 49b, 6x4, 1x6) which only delayed the inevitable. Off-spinner J. Hemuchudeshan brought an end to Sri Lanka's innings and the match, dismissing Seneviratne.
