India vs SL, 1st T20I : Team India seals a thrashing 62 win over Sri Lanka to take a 1-0 lead in the 3 match series
Xtra Time Web Desk : Team India batter Ishan Kishan on Thursday gave a glimpse of his enormous potential with a 56-ball-89 before the bowlers joined the party in India's thrashing 62-run win over Sri Lanka in the first T20I to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Asked to take first strike, Kishan was unstoppable at the top as he blasted a blistering 56-ball 89, while Shreyas Iyer provided the late charge with an unbeaten 57 as India racked up a massive 199 for 2.
The Indian bowlers, led by Bhuveshwar Kumar (2/9 in 2 overs) and Venkatesh Iyer (2/36), then provided the finishing touch, limiting Sri Lanka to 137 for 6 in 20 overs.
Yuzvendra Chahal (1/11) and Ravindra Jadeja (1/28) also claimed one wicket each. The victory extended India's winning streak to 10 T20 games.
For Sri Lanka, Charith Asalanka regained some confidence with an unbeaten 47-ball 53 but he didn't get any support from the other batters.
