The young Indian side impressed everyone in the ODI series but failed to set the stage on fire in the T20Is.

SL vs IND:  Shikhar Dhawan reveals his conversation with Sri Lankan players

The Indian skipper at the post-match presentation revealed the conversation he had with the Sri Lankan players. Further talking about the match, the left-handed batsman said that he’s proud of his team as they showed great character in the last two games despite being in a difficult situation.

“The Sri Lanka captain and players wanted to know about my process, so I told them, and I hope they enjoyed listening to it. It was a difficult situation for us. As a team, we decided to stay and play these games. Really proud of the boys as well. They showed great character in the last two games. Their attitude was tremendous. We wanted to win as well, in every game you learn. It was an off-day for our batting unit. We lost too many wickets, SL bowled well,” Shikhar Dhawan said.
