India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I: India look to clinch another white-ball series

They will also be eager to complete a hat-trick of whitewashes in white ball cricket, when they take on the islanders in the final two T20Is at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala during the weekend.

After Thursday's clinical 62-run victory, the Rohit Sharma-led outfit extended their winning streak to 10 T20I games, their longest in the shortest format. Yet to cement their spots in the playing eleven, the likes of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan came up with rollicking performances to remind the selectors that they will be strong contenders when the team for the World Cup in Australia is picked. Kishan, the 23-year-old from Jharkhand, blasted a career-best 89 while opening the innings with his skipper, before Iyer lit up the Ekana Stadium towards the latter half of the innings with an unbeaten 57 off 28 balls. It was a different Kishan on show from the previous series against the West Indies, where he struggled to get going and made just 71 runs in three innings. "He (Ishan) constructed the innings very well after six overs, which is usually a challenge for him because we know he likes to play his shots. It was not about coming and hitting the ball, it was also about finding the gaps," Rohit said after the game. For Iyer, it was a case of grabbing the limited opportunities with both hands, after having warmed the bench at the Eden Gardens. While comeback man Sanju Samson did not get a chance to bat in the first match, Young Ruturaj Gaikwad has failed to recover from the wrist injury he sustained on Friday and is out.
