All-round India ticked all the boxes on Jasprit Bumrah and Shikhar Dhawan's return to international cricket and swept Sri Lanka aside b yseven wickets to take 1-0 lead in the second T20 international at the Holkar Stadium here on Tuesday.

The first match in Guwahati was called off without a ball being bowled due to rain and damp pitch. Virat Kohli and his boys will now look to seal the series in the final match of the series in Pune on Friday.

Chasing a reasonable 143 for victory, Kohli (30 not out)smashed a six in the 18th over to seal the deal for the rampaging hosts with 15balls to spare.

KL Rahul scored 45, Shreyas Iyer got 34 and the returningShikhar Dhawan made 32 as India never really looked in any sort of troubleafter their bowlers fired in unison to keep the Lankans in check.

The two openers, vying for the second opener's slot alongwith Rohit Sharma for the World T20 later this year, got India off to a solidstart. Rahul looked good, hitting six fours before his ambition got the betterof him as leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga cleaned him up with a delivery wide ofthe crease in the 10th over.

Dhawan followed suit soon, trapped in front by Hasarangawhich was confirmed by a successful review after the umpire ruled the southpawnot out.

Shreyas Iyer, promoted to No. 3, and Virat Kohli then madeshort work of the remaining runs as the former took 17 off Hasaranga in the16th over with the latter hitting Sri Lanka skipper Lasith Malinga for 16 inthe next over.

Iyer was caught by Dasun Shanaka at square-leg off LahiruKumara, but it was all over for Sri Lanka by then as Kohli whipped a six overlong leg off Kumara to win it in style with Rishabh Pant (1 not out) at theother end.

Earlier, the bowlers put up a good show with Navdeep Sainishining bright as India restricted Sri Lanka to 142/9. All eyes were on thereturning Bumrah after India captain Virat Kohli decided to field first.

Bumrah, who has been out of action after India's tour of theWest Indies in July-August last year due to a stress fracture on his back,started off with a wide in the first ball of the match and was hit for a fourin the second as he finished conceding seven runs.

Danushka Gunathilaka and Avishka Fernando hit boundaries offhim in the fourth over as India's premier pacer looked a bit rusty startingoff, but in the end bowled a superbly disguised slower to castle Dasun Shanakain the 17th over.

Bumrah was taken for 12 in the final over by WaninduHasaranga (16 not out) who hit a hat-trick of fours to end the innings with aflourish as the fast bowler returned figures of 1/31 in his four overs.

Shardul Thakur (3/23) was the pick of the bowlers for thehosts but it was Saini (2/18) who impressed the most while Kuldeep Yadav (2/38)also picked up two wickets.

For the Lankans, Kusal Perera top-scored with a 28-ball 34(6x3).

The Sri Lanka openers looked good against India's pace trioof Bumrah, Shardul and Saini before Kohli went to Washington Sundar (1/29) andthe spinner did the trick as Fernando (22) hit straight to mid-off where Sainitook a simple catch.

Sri Lanka raced to 48/1 after six overs but just asGunathilaka was looking good, thumping Shardul Thakur for a four down mid-offin the sixth over, a Navdeep Saini thunderbolt at 147.5 kph beat him all endsup to rattle the stumps. He was gone for 20.

In-form Perera welcomed Kuldeep with a six over deepmidwicket in the 12th over. But the chinaman, who recently became the firstIndian to take two hat-tricks in international cricket, had the last laugh ashe got Oshada Fernando (10) stumped in the third ball of the same over.

Perera reverse pulled Kuldeep for a six in the first ball ofthe 14th over as Sri Lanka looked to up the ante. But in the very nextdelivery, Kuldeep once again emerged victorious as the batsman holed out toShikhar Dhawan at long-on while trying to clear the boundary.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa (9) was caught behind off Saini whosesearing pace caused the batters a lot of trouble as Sri Lanka reached 104/5after 15 overs.

In the last five overs, the visitors managed just 34 runs,losing four wickets as Shardul picked up three in quick succession.

Brief scores: Sri Lanka 142/9 in 20 overs (Kusal Perera 34;Shardul Thakur 3/23) India 144/3 in 17.3 overs (K.L. Rahul 45; WaninduHasaranga 2/30)
