Cricket fans went crazy on social media as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc and dismantled the Lankan batting lineup within no time. India and Sri Lanka are currently locking horns in the second of their WTC game in Colombo. After opting to bat first, the visitors put up a formidable total of 503 with the loss of nine wickets. Two Indian cricketers- Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel finished the innings as centurions. While the hosts were aiming to bounce back in the second innings, the Shubman Gill-led side had different plans.
Team India struck early and dismissed opener Lahiru Udara in the second over itself, courtesy of a brilliant screamer by opener Yashasvi Jaiswal off a Prasidh Krishna delivery. Prabath Jayasuriya was the next to depart at two runs off a Manav Suthar delivery. Even other opener Kamil Mishra couldn’t convert his knock into something big and was forced to walk back at 19 runs. Kamindu Mendis and skipper Dhananjaya de Silva walked back at 32 runs and eight runs, respectively. However, Pasindu Sooriyabandara stood firm on one end of the crease, and crossed his fifty-run mark.
