Once again, the Indian National Cricket Team had a fabulous time at work in Indore against the Sri Lankan team. The excellent display of bowling followed by the solid batting show from KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer helped India to go 1-0 up in the 3-match series.

In reply to the chase, the openers KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan never allowed Sri Lanka bowlers to settle in the middle. KL Rahul, in particular, went against the bowlers with his oozing class. The duo added 71 runs for the first wicket before Wanindu Hasaranga dismissing KL Rahul on his score of 45.

Shikhar Dhawan followed him quickly, which gave Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli a chance to show their class in the middle. Both the batsmen finished the task with ease in the end. For Sri Lanka, Hasaranga was the only bowler, who delivered the goods for the team.

Earlier, after losing the toss, the openers Avishka Fernando and Danushka Gunathilaka started things off in style by knocking boundaries more often than not in the powerplay overs. However, Washington Sundar gave a crucial breakthrough for the team to settle things in the middle.

Danushka Gunathilaka followed Avishka Fernando when Navdeep Saini delivered a peach of the delivery to rattle the defence of Gunathilaka. Following the dismissals, Kusal Perera tried his best to get runs at a quick pace. Much like the openers, Kusal also failed to capitalise the start.

Indian bowlers never allowed the Sri Lanka batsmen to score runs at the higher rate, which helped India to bundle out the opposition for a low tally of 142 on the board. Shardul Thakur picked three wickets while Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep picked a couple of wickets each.
