India beat Sri Lanka by 43 runs in the first match of the three-game T20I series on Saturday, July 27. Batting first, India scored a mammoth 213/7, with captain Suryakumar Yadav being the top-scorer with 58 runs off 26 deliveries. Yashasvi Jaiswal (40), Shubman Gill (34) and Rishabh Pant (49) came up with useful contributions. In response, Sri Lanka got off to a flying start, with Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis putting on 84 runs for the first wicket. After Mendis' departure, Kusal Perera did well to score 20 runs off 14 balls but after that, it was a sorry effort from the Sri Lanka batters. The hosts nine wickets for 30 runs, with Riyan Parag taking three wickets for just five runs in 1.2 overs. Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel took two wickets each, while Mohammed Siraj and Ravi Bishnoi got one each. Just Like MS Dhoni!
