NEW DELHI: In a dramatic finish to the third and final T20I of the series in Pallekele, India pulled off an astonishing victory against Sri Lanka, completing a 3-0 clean sweep. The hosts required just 9 runs off the last two overs with six wickets in hand, but the game took an unexpected turn when captain Suryakumar Yadav made a surprising decision.
With Mohammed Siraj still having an over left and Shivam Dube yet to bowl, Suryakumar handed the ball to Rinku Singh, a player who had never bowled in his 23-match T20I career. This bold move on a spin-friendly track turned out to be a masterstroke.
