1st T20I: Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer dazzle as India drub Sri Lanka

Ishan Kishan India Shreyas Iyer Sri Lanka Lucknow Rohit Sharma Chamika Karunaratne

Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer may not be certainties in India's first-choice T20 eleven yet, but the duo threw their hats in the ring with explosive knocks in the first T20 International Sri Lanka at Lucknow's Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Bolstered by the duo's stirring show, India gave the Lankans a total of 200 to chase, which as expected proved to be a tall order for the Islanders. Charith Asalanka (unbeaten 53 off 47b; 5x4) got some welcome runs and Chamika Karunaratne (21 off 14b; 2x6) and Dushmantha Chameera (24 off 14; 2x4, 1x6) hit a few lusty blows towards the end but the die had been cast by then.
