A controlled straight drive from Rajitha, backed away early but what he did well was to watch the ball till the very end. 15.3 Umran Malik to Theekshana, out Bowled!!

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.

The stumps are in a mess!! A controlled straight drive from Rajitha, backed away early but what he did well was to watch the ball till the very end. (On Suryakumar Yadav) He's batting at a different level and I'm happy that I'm in the same team as him. 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. Didn't do anything different for this series, just that the captain gave me a lot of confidence in the dugout. The way the boys fought in this series, lots of positives. 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. A young team led by a young captain and India will be happy with the way things panned out. I'm really proud of him (Axar), the way he is batting down the order and hitting. The trophy is handed over to Hardik who gives it to the younger teammates and they're all merrily posing away for the photographs.

The next batter Deepak Hooda started his innings with a four but got out soon on a cutter from Madushanka. Theekshana sneaked in a quiet over but the visitors couldn`t keep Surya quiet for too long. But, it was Suryakumar Yadav, who wasted little time to get off the block and toyed with Sri Lankan bowlers by hitting them all around the park. Arshdeep, who made a comeback after a horrible last game, picked two wickets in the 17th over, including the all-important Dasun Shanaka to bowled out for 137-10 and wrap up a 91-run win for India. He got out, cutely steer the ball to third man and found the fielder in the 6th over.

[Rahul Tripathi](https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/players/12218-rahul-ajay-tripathi-playerprofile) blazed away to a 16-ball 35, and Pandya was also full of praise for the latter.

If the bowler bowls some other delivery, you need to be ready with other strokes as well.” If it works well for me and the team, I am happy.” We request you to support our award-winning journalism by making a financial contribution towards the Scroll Ground Reporting Fund. “There is a lot of hard work involved but at the same time you have got to be doing some quality practice sessions as well. There are a few strokes which re pre-determined but at the same time you need to have other shots in your armoury. “It is really important for you to put pressure on yourself when you are preparing for any game,” Yadav said.

Pandya said that the manner in which Suryakumar goes about his business helps the other batters in the team as well.

But if you have a defensive mindset, even if a bad ball is there, you are not able to put that away. “It’s not always that we will play aggressive in terms of hitting. He said that, as always, intent is the key. In this group, it’s a very good journey. They will make mistakes, they will learn from it, something that we have emphasised that once you make a mistake you make sure that you learn from it. He is always very clear about his plans and that’s the reason he’s successful in this format.

Suryakumar hit an unbeaten 112 off 51 balls as India posted an imposing 228 for five after opting to bat first.

With Surya firing, Gill tried to up the ante at the other end as well. As soon as spin was introduced, Tripathi targeted Mahesh Theekshana (0/48) as he collected three fours from the fifth over. 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. [Suryakumar Yadav](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/suryakumar-yadav) displayed his unmatched superiority yet again in the shortest format with a scintillating hundred as India outplayed Sri Lanka by 91 runs in the third T20I to secure a memorable series win in Rajkot on Saturday.

There is no denying that Sri Lanka will give a tough fight to the hosts, but the Rohit Sharma-led side is likely favorites. Spinners will have a great time due to the slow nature of the track.

Rohit Sharma-led side is all set to take on Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series, starting from January 10 (Tuesday), in Guwahati.
