Suryakumar Yadav then joined Rohit Sharma and the duo made a stellar recovery. Both played cautiously in the first couple of overs before changing gears and turning the momentum.

Skipper Rohit Sharma was the aggressor of the two, while Suryakumar Yadav was happy to play as the second fiddle. Sharma went on to play a sensational knock of 71 runs in 41 balls, including 5 fours and 4 sixes. His knock ended in the 13th over but the Indian skipper had done his job by then.

However, Sri Lanka came back strongly and picked wickets in quick succession. Suryakumar Yadav (34) followed him soon, while the likes of Pant (17), Hardik Pandya (17), and Hooda (3) couldn’t finish strongly as well. As a result, India were restricted to 173 runs at the end of the first innings.
