IND Vs SRI: When Surya Kumar Yadav was appointed as the new T20i skipper for the Indian team, there were lots of doubts. But it was a perfect reply by the new Men In Blues’ skipper as he scored a sensational half-century.
With the departure of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja, Sky is one of the most senior players in the squad. And the young players will look up to him now and he must have to lead by example.
And if this match is to be taken as any indication, it looks like Sky is ready for this challenge. He is the perfect guy to transition India into a new era. The Sky-Gauti era and it will be full of fireworks.
Captain Fantastic
The Men In Blues were in charge of the game from the start. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill started the inning with a bang and scored 74 runs in a brutal Powerplay. Sky took the baton from them and continued the onslaught.
A 22-delivery half-century kept the momentum going for the Men In Blues and never let the Lankans back in the game. Sky was dismissed by Matheesha Pathirana after scoring 58 runs in just 26 deliveries with a Strike Rate of 223.
His innings included 8 boundaries and 2 sixes during this onslaught. This inning by Sky was so beautiful that even Gautam Gambhir was not able to control his smile.
IND Vs SRI: Intense Chase Ahead
It is a flat wicket with nothing for the spinners and even though the Indian team has set a massive target, it will be a good chase. If the Lankans somehow construct a few decent partnerships, they can chase this target down.
