IND vs SL Talking Points: Hardik Pandya's captaincy, Shivam Mavi's ... (Firstpost)

At a stadium where the bowlers historically do not have much to boast about, the first T20I of 2023 between India and Sri Lanka was a game highlighted by the ...

Shanaka scored 45 from 27 deliveries and ensured his side remains in the hunt. The duo hit four boundaries and five maximums. But, jokes apart, he was very effective at the start and applied brakes on the Sri Lankan powerplay. He is willing to open the experiment lab for this purpose. The right-hander scored 23 runs from 16 balls. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. A target of 161, which would have been thought of as below par at the Wankhede Stadium was made to look like a mountain of runs by the Indian bowling attack. More importantly, he hit two sixes – one each in the 19th and 20th over – and brought his side closer to the target. He later confirmed at the presentation that he has been practicing in the nets with the new ball and that is why he tried to bowl upfront.

Hardik said he would have batted anyway because India wanted to challenge themselves in bilateral games.

It seemed all over with 29 required off the last two with two wickets in hand, but Harshal bowled an ordinary 19th over to let Sri Lanka back. When Hasaranga joined him with two successive slog-swept sixes off Yuzvendra Chahal in the 14th over, Sri Lanka were well and truly back with 56 needed off the last six. Kasun Rajitha and Madushanka closed out well but India managed 34 off the last three. Two curious events happened around the last ball of the 19th over. Hasaranga had one over at the death, and Hooda managed to pull one six off him too as he went flatter to get out of that over. Kishan got them off to a rollicking start, taking 26 off the first two overs, but then the masters went to work. Probably looking to get out of the spell, Theekshana dragged down an attempted wrong'un in the 16th over. Eventually Kishan, who had gone from 17 off 8 to 36 off 27, felt the need to slog-sweep everything. This seam-up delivery had come on slowly off the surface. Gill picked a carrom ball, but it landed on the leather to skid on with the angle to trap him lbw. Hooda and Axar then added 68 in 5.5 overs to take India to 162. On the same pitch, India found assistance for fast bowlers with Hardik Pandya joining debutant

After a nail-biting win in a final ball thriller at the Wankhede Stadium, Hardik Pandya can seal his first series victory on home soil when he leads Team ...

The Lankan batting department though will have to find a way to convert their starts with only captain Dasun Shanaka (45 off 27 balls) capitalising in the first game. Sri Lanka’s spinners asked quite a few questions of the Indian batters and they’ll be hoping for more of the same when they meet at the MCA stadium which is known to offer some good turn. Ruturaj Gaikwad lies waiting in the flanks for his opportunity but it’s expected that Gill will be given a fair run to settle in the side. Shubman Gill (7 off 5 balls), another player who made his T20I debut in the game, looked tentative and will be eager to showcase his ability in this game. Shivam Mavi, making his T20I debut for India, picked up a wicket in every over he bowled, finishing with impressive figures of 4/22 to help reel in the visitors. However, Deepak Hooda (41 not-out off 23 balls) and Axar Patel (31 not-out off 20 balls) stitched together a vital 68-run partnership to give their bowlers something to defend.
