Hardik Pandya begins his full-time captaincy of the Indian T20 team today with the three-match series against Sri Lanka.

Coming in at number six, Hooda tried to change the course of the innings with back-to-back sixes over deep midwicket off Theekshana. The game somehow went down to the last over with Chamika Karunratne providing a ray of hope for the visitors. India's best T20 batter Suryakumar Yadav (7) too perished cheaply, leaving the hosts at 41 for two in the powerplay. Hasaranga and skipper Shanaka made the game interesting with a quickfire 40-run stand off 23 balls. In his second over too, Mavi got hit for a couple of fours before he had Dhanajaya de Silva caught at mid-on. Mavi's moment to cherish came in his first over as he showed remarkable composure to strike back after being hit for two fours by Kusal Mendis.
