With their rout of Sri Lanka, Australia have created a blueprint for success on the subcontinent ahead of a legacy-defining tour to India in 2027.
Stand-in captain Steve Smith felt Australia's visit to Galle could "probably not" have gone better than it did as the curtain came down on the second Test on Sunday.
The tourists handed their hosts their biggest-ever Test loss - by an innings and 242 runs - in the first match and followed that up with a nine-wicket rout in the second.
