IND vs SL

India are fielding an unchanged side, but the visitors made one change, replacing Bhanuka Rajapaksa with Avishka Fernando.

As soon as spin was introduced, Tripathi targeted Mahesh Theekshana (0/48) as he collected three fours from the fifth over. He hit nine sixes and seven fours in his blazing knock. With Surya firing, Gill tried to up the ante at the other end as well. The world’s number one batter in the format looked like a man from another planet. Earlier, after completing his fifty in 26 balls, Surya took only 19 deliveries to reach the 100-run mark. The two openers looked up for the challenge as they shared a brisk 44-run stand.

(On Suryakumar Yadav) He's batting at a different level and I'm happy that I'm in the same team as him. He rushes Shanaka on the pull with the 1st ball but the Sri Lanka captain gets a single. The 3rd ball is right on the money as Malik sends down a pacy length delivery which rattles the off-stump. Rajitha heaves at the 3rd ball but doesn’t time the shot as they get just a run. Yuzvendra Chahal (2/30): After the first match, I had a discussion with the coaches - on what pace and line to be bowling. I had a finger injury, that's the reason I didn't bowl in this series but looking forward to bowling in the ODIs. In the field, I want to keep calm and let the boys learn. The way the boys fought in this series, lots of positives. I'm really proud of him (Axar), the way he is batting down the order and hitting. The way we played in the series is pleasing, we didn't even play 50 percent of our game in the second game but we still fought well. From the start of this series, I got in good form. This will give a lot of confidence to him and the team as well.

India 228 for 5 (Suryakumar 112*, Gill 46, Madushanka 2-55) beat Sri Lanka 137 (Mendis 23, Arshdeep 3-20, Hardik 2-30) by 91 runs.

Needing more than two runs a ball for the rest of the innings, the Sri Lanka batters had to keep swinging. Was it the wide high full toss from the left-arm quick that he sent over fine leg for a six while himself on the floor trying to get his head out of the line of danger? Mavi then pulled them back, and Axar created enough mistakes to get Mendis caught at short third in the fifth over. The bowling had looked tough until then on a tacky pitch at the start of the innings: Dilshan Madushanka got Ishan Kishan in the first over, Kasun Rajitha bowled the first maiden of the series to Shubman Gill, but Tripathi salvaged the powerplay. By the time he got out, Tripathi had scored 35 off 16 balls and taken India to 52 for 2 in 5.5 overs. India were helped along by a blazing start from [Rahul Tripathi](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/rahul-tripathi-446763)and a finishing kick from [Axar Patel](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/axar-patel-554691).

India are without seasoned campaigners Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul in the T20I series against Sri Lanka. All eyes are now on pacer Arshdeep Singh and skipper Hardik Pandya as the Men In Blue are aiming for another series win over Sri Lanka at Rajkot. Opener Gill has decided to up the ante as the Indian opener smashes Madushanka for a four and six to end the 3rd over. Since the third man was in, Tripathi was hoping to guide the ball for a smart boundary. The Indian batter played a fine shot to earn a boundary on the penultimate ball of the over. The on-song batter scored a four and a six off Karunaratne in the 11th over. The premier batter is also the first non-opening batter to score as many as three T20I centuries for Team India. Speed merchant Arshdeep Singh had a forgetful outing in the 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka. A leading edge on the second ball and Axar was close to taking the return catch. Power-hitter Hasaranga has struggled to get going with the bat in the T20I series. "After the first match, I had a discussion with the coaches - on what pace and line to be bowling. In reply, Sri Lanka only mustered 137 in 16.4 overs as Hardik Pandya-led India crushed the visitors by 91 runs to clinch the series 2-1 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
