3. Opening partnership
The opening partnership between Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul, made it look like a one sided contest yet again in the series. Their stand of 188 in just 39.3 overs took the game away from the Sri Lankans in the very first session of the match. This stand between the openers is now the highest by a visiting team on Sri Lankan soil. The duo went about at a ridiculous run rate of almost 5 runs per over, demoralising the Sri Lankan bowlers early in the match.
