Yesterday was the day of first T20 match between India and Sri Lanka. India has lost the toss and had to bat first .
In the first ball of the match itself , Indian opener Prithvi Shah was out for a golden duck . Skipper Shikher Dhawan and Sanju Samsun tried to keep the rhythm of the game .
Samsun and Dhawan both played scoring shots . But the match was interesting when Surya Kumar Yadav had come to crease . Surya loves to play the shots over the head of bowler !!
He departed as soon as he scored a 50 . Then came Hardik Pandya . I wonder why he was in the team . It was very clear that he was struggling to play the shots . Whatever he had done in the past is past . I strongly recommend him to play in the domestic cricket matches first .
By doing so, he will be able to find his batting form . Afterwards he may return to international cricket matches . In a T20 match,, instead of scoring singles, it's better to play scoring shots and post a competitive score to chase to the opponents .
Ishan Kishen could have come in the place of Hardik to play . India would have scored 30 more runs . Finally India scored 164/5 in 20 overs .
Indian bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 126 all out . India has won the first T20 cricket match against Sri Lanka .
