Rohit Sharma Trusts Me A Lot, I Have Got The Freedom To Do Whatever I Want: Jasprit Bumrah To Ravichandran Ashwin

Rohit Sharma's trusted lieutenant Jasprit Bumrah says the India skipper has always had unflinching faith in his ability, backing him to bowl the most important overs even when he was new at Mumbai Indians, and now gives him the freedom to do things his way. If Bumrah is to be believed, then Rohit has played a crucial role in his development as one of the world's premier fast bowlers. "When I came into the side Ricky (Ponting) was the captain and I was not playing regularly. I started playing a lot under Rohit, he had a lot of confidence in me. He instilled a lot of confidence," Bumrah said during a conversation with India team-mate Ravichandran Ashwin on the senior off-spinner's 'DRS With Ash' episode on his YouTube channel.

India Predicted XI For 3rd T20I vs Sri Lanka: Rohit Sharma Likely To Test Bench Strength

Just a day after clinching yet another T20I series win, India will take on Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. Shreyas Iyer rose to the occasion once again as he smashed a fine 74 after coming into bat at no 3. Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja also earned plaudits for their cameo as India chased down a daunting total of 184 last night at the same venue. India could make a couple of changes for the dead rubber against Sri Lanka, who will look to end the series on a high note ahead of the two Tests next month. The likes of Ravi Bishnoi and Mohammed Siraj might get a chance to test themselves.

Watch: Sri Lanka's Binura Fernando Takes Sensational Catch To Dismiss Sanju Samson In 2nd T20I

Sri Lanka's Binura Fernando took a sensational catch to dismiss India's Sanju Samson during the 2nd T20I between the two countries in Dharamsala on Saturday. Samson was on 39 and going for the big hits when he chased after a Lahiru Kumara delivery in the 13th over, only to give away an outside edge. Binura Fernando, who was standing at first slip, immediately took a giant leap and took a stunning one-handed catch with his left hand. The wicket did little to break India's momentum though as the hosts managed to chase down the target of 184.

India vs Sri Lanka: Rohit Sharma impressed with middle-order show

Rohit Sharma on Saturday heaped praise on the team's batters, saying it was pleasing to see the middle-order shouldering the responsibility after the early dismissals of openers. "I think it was pleasing to see for us the middle order coming out and performing. It is good to see those guys taking the responsibility and finishing off games. To finish the way they did was really good," Rohit said at the post-match presentation after India defeated Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the second T20 here. After the early dismissals of Rohit and Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer hit a whirlwind unbeaten 74 as India registered the comfortable win to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. Besides Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja blasted 45 off 18 balls as India chased down the target of 184 with 17 deliveries to spare and register their 11th straight win in the format. Sanju Samson also contributed 39 off 25 balls.

India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I: Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja explode as India chase down 184 to win series

Shreyas Iyer has made himself a serious contender in India’s World Cup squad. After his explosive half-century in the series opener against Sri Lanka, the middle-order batter showed exemplary skills with a very impressive, unbeaten 74 to help India successfully chase down 184 with 17 balls to spare, and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match rubber. This is India’s seventh straight series win at home. Coming in at the fall of skipper Rohit Sharma (1), who had a rare failure up the order, Shreyas (74* off 44 balls; 4x6, 6x4) took on the onus of leading India’s charge.
