PALLEKELE (Sri Lanka), July 2024
From our Sports Correspondent
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Skipper Suryakumar Yadav displayed their wide array of strokes as India took an unassailable 2-0 lead, winning the rain-curtailed second T20I by seven wickets with nine balls to spare here today.
Head Coach Gautam Gambhir and new Captain Suryakumar couldn’t have asked for a better start to their new roles as Indian team played like true T20 World Champions outplaying Sri Lanka in all departments.
Despite Shubman Gill’s absence due to neck spasm and another failure in the format for the ever-hyped Sanju Samson (0), Jaiswal (30 off 15 balls) and Suryakumar (26 off 12 balls) didn’t even break a sweat in their short but tricky chase of 78 in 8 overs after another fine effort by bowlers had restricted Sri Lanka to 161 for 9.
