Watch: Shreyas Iyer's "No Look 90 Metre Six" In 1st T20I vs Sri Lanka

Shreyas Iyer was batting almost at a run a ball till he was 12 but things changed rapidly from the moment he walked across his stumps to flick a Dasun Shanaka delivery through the vacant deep square-leg area and collect a boundary in the 17th over of the Indian innings in the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Lucknow. In the next over, Iyer hit couple of boundaries and made his intentions clear. However, it was the 19th over that really showed how destructive Iyer can be with the bat in his hand. The right-hander took apart Chamika Karunaratne, hitting him for three boundaries, including a 90 metre six over long on.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I: We were really poor in all three departments, says Dasun Shanaka

Dasun Shanaka conceded the fact that his team were really poor in the T20I series opener against India. Electing to bowl first didn't go very well for Sri Lanka as the bowlers were taken for cleaners by India's batters, led by Ishan Kishan (89 off 56 balls) and Shreyas Iyer (57 not out off 28 balls). After being posed a challenging target of 200, Sri Lanka were never in the hunt as they lost Pathum Nissanka on the very first ball and lost half of their side by 12 overs. "We were really poor in all three departments. They batted beautifully, read the game and conditions really well. I could have bowled more," said Shanaka in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Ashish Nehra "Very Surprised" By Star Cricketer's Inclusion In India's Squad For Sri Lanka T20Is

India are without the services of former captain Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for the ongoing three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka. However, star pacer Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja are back in the mix after missing the series against West Indies due to various reasons. Both the senior players featured in the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Lucknow on Thursday which India won by 62 runs. Bumrah was named vice-captain for the series due to the absence of KL Rahul, who is injured. Ahead of the start of the first T20I, former India pacer Ashish Nehra was "surprised" to see Bumrah's inclusion in the team for the series.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I: Got to learn a lot from the West Indies series, says Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan said he had learnt a lot from the T20I series against the West Indies. In the first T20I against Sri Lanka on Thursday, Kishan hit an explosive 89 off 57 balls, laced with ten fours and three sixes, to set the base for India's convincing 62-run win over Sri Lanka. It was a far cry from Kishan against the West Indies, who struggled to get going and made just 71 runs in three innings.

India vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I: Start was slow but it wasn't easy, says Shreyas Iyer after India's win

Shreyas Iyer admitted that the start to his unbeaten knock of 57 in the first T20I against Sri Lanka was slow but the conditions on the field weren't easy to negotiate. At one point, Iyer was 17 off 14 balls. But in the next 14 balls, he scored a whirlwind 40 runs to put a nice finishing touch to India's score of 199, setting the foundation for a 62-run victory later. "My start was slow but it wasn't easy. But once my eye got in and once I got a boundary, I thought I would keep going. Ishan (Kishan) wasn't able to time (in the middle overs) and he too was losing patience, so I told him to take his time and then he again started timing well. I just told him to take his time, look for twos and threes," said Iyer after the match.

Watch: Ravindra Jadeja Celebrates Wicket With Allu Arjun Move, Earns "Ravindra Pushpa" Tag

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja imitated actor Allu Arjun's popular dance move from the recent hit movie ‘Pushpa' after taking a wicket against Sri Lanka in the opening T20I of a three-match series, in Lucknow on Thursday. Jadeja, who was making his international return after sitting out in recent months due to injury, dismissed Sri Lanka batter Dinesh Chandimal in the 10th over of the visitors' innings. Jadeja proceeded to celebrate the wicket with a dance move popularised by Allu Arjun from the ‘Srivalli' song in the movie Pushpa. Videos of Jadeja's move went viral on social media and former India cricketer Murali Kartik, who was in the commentary box at that time even termed him as "Ravindra Pushpa."
