India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20 Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer dictated the proceedings in the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Lucknow as India posted 199/2 in 20 overs after being invited to bat first. Ishan and Rohit Sharma got the hosts off to a brilliant start as the pair added 111 runs for the opening wicket. Rohit was dismissed on 44(32) by Lahiru Kumara in the final delivery of the 12th over, following which Shreyas Iyer joined Ishan in the middle.
Ishan was dismissed on 89(56) by Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka. Iyer returned unbeaten on 57(28), while Jadeja scored 3(4). Rohit Sharma-led India will aim for another clean sweep after their recent successful outing against West Indies. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will look to produce a strong show especially after a disappointing outing in Australia, where they endured a 1-4 T20I series loss before arriving in India.
