After Sri Lanka lost a few key early wickets at top, India’s left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja also announced his return to international cricket in a fabulous style. In just his second over of the game, Jadeja got rid of the dangerous looking Dinesh Chandimal through a stumping dismissal and he even celebrated the wicket by doing the trending ‘Jhukega Nahi’ gesture from the Telegu movie Pushpa. While seeing the batsman advance down the track, the left-armer cleverly bowled short and got some extra turn to beat the outside edge and wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan did the rest of the work with the gloves.

Ishan finally got back in form with a brilliant innings of 89 runs off just 56 balls that included a total of 10 fours and 3 sixes.

In reply, the visiting Sri Lankan team never really got going in the second innings of this IND vs SL 1st T20I game. The Lankans continued to lose wickets at regular intervals as the Indian pacers as well as the spinners were spot on with their line and lengths. However, Charith Asalanka remained unbeaten till the end while playing a great knock of 53 runs but eventually Sri Lanka managed to score 137 for 6 in their 20 overs as India sealed an amazing 62-run victory. For India, the duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Venkatesh Iyer finished with two wickets each while Jadeja and Yuzvendra Chahal also picked up a scalp each.
