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.

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.
India vs Sri Lanka: Ishan Kishan constructed innings well after Powerplay which is usually challenge for him, says Rohit Sharma
Ishan Kishan, India skipper Rohit Sharma on Thursday said he was particularly impressed with the way the young opener constructed his innings after the powerplay, something which has proved to be a problem for him in the past. The 23-year-old from Jharkhand blasted a career-best 89 to set up India's crushing 62-run win over Sri Lanka in the first T20I. "I know Ishan for a long time now. We play for the same franchise (Mumbai Indians) in IPL. I know the mindset and ability Ishan has. It was about getting the rhythm back and it was very very pleasing to watch him bat today," Rohit said during the post-match presentation.
