Under the new coaching regime of Gautam Gambhir and skipper Suryakumar Yadav kicked off Team India's (IND) new journey in the limited overs format with a bang. Notably, the Men in Blue took on Sri Lanka (SL) in their backyard, after legendary players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli bowed out of the T20I format to give a chance to fresh legs and a new think tank. On Saturday, July 27, in Pallekele, Suryakumar Yadav stamped his Captaincy authority with his thrilling blitzkrieg, as he led his side to post a daunting total of 213 runs.

In notable performances from both sides, apart from skipper Yadav, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill gave a solid 74-run start. Speaking of bowling, Sri Lankan bowlers were taken to the cleaners but Matheesha Pathirana claimed a four-wicket haul to stop the visitors from going past the 225-run mark. Continuing the momentum Sri Lankan openers too played some fearless cricket to keep themselves in the hunt. However, Axar Patel's twin strikes derailed their chances and a collective bowling effort sealed the game for India as they trumped the Lankan Lions by 43 runs.

The action now shifts to the second T20I as the hosts Sri Lanka will yet again cross swords with the Men In Blue in a bid to bounce back in the series. Notably, the second game will be played on Sunday, July 28, in Pallekele. The Lankan Lions, too are going through a transition phase as Charith Asalanka has been handed the leadership. It will be now interesting to see what amends the sides make to keep the fans thrilled in the upcoming fixture.

SL vs IND Pitch Report

The Pallekele stadium's pitch usually benefits batters. Bowlers can mix up their pace to gain an advantage as the match progresses. A target of about 170 runs is generally seen as competitive for teams batting first at this venue. However, the evening dew factor often makes teams prefer chasing, as it can complicate bowling in the latter part of the game. Hence as seen in the first T20I game, the pitch was sluggish in nature and it will tempt the skippers to bat first after winning the toss.
