IND vs SL 2nd T20I: India bag series 2-0 after rain drama

It is know Suryakumar Yadav's second series win and the first for newly appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir.

IND vs SL 2nd T20I: After winning the toss and electing to bowl first at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, India have restricted Sri Lanka to 161. At one point, the hosts were 130/2 with 5 overs still left. All they managed to do was lose 7 wickets in 30 balls and score just 31 runs. Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir now have the golden chance to seal the series. However, with persistent rain, the match for India is reduced to 8 overs, with visitors needing 78 runs. Cameos by Yashasvi Jaiswal (30 off 15) and Hardik Pandya (22* off 9) were enough to clinch the match for the visitors.
