Unadkat looks more polished than the player he was 2 years ago. Looks more confident and his pace increased a tad bit too. Adding that witty cutter to his arsenal made him a better wicket taking option than Bhuvi. And this young lad W. Sundar looks more promising than any other youngster debuted for India in 2017. I'm happy we have more bowling options now. This has only put an end to the LOI careers of Ashwin and Jadeja.

This is the 19th time India and Sri Lanka have played each other this year.

No Kohli. Rahul/Rohit left early. Challenge for Indian youngsters and seniors who masquerade as youngsters

India team B for T20s pummelling SL badly

 

[Gabbar Singh]

A couple of quick wickets here will make the match very interesting. The required rate is climbing.

Could be a close finish.

I wouldn't be suprised if india manage to lose this match.

 

[Savage]

This is the 19th time India and Sri Lanka have played each other this year.

All thanks to BCCI.

This guy MS is a real pain in the neck for the opposition ..... always there at the end, supremely confident, smiling, has a “ this is a no big deal “ type of attitude, usually manages to score the winning hit and also manages to stay Not Out, usually. Not easy to get rid of him before the WC !!!!

 

[Savage]

Unadkat is probably most improved bowler right now.When i first saw him play in the ipl this year,thought he was gonna get thrashed.He exceeded my expectation.Even though i didn't watch a single ball of recent T20/Odi series against SL Live but i think he bowled exceptionally well there(judging by stats).He has realized his weakness and now bowls with lots of variation(which is his major strength).

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

I think the Indian players made it look close for the TV viewership sake. Could have won by 15th over if they wanted.

 

[volcyz]

Most pointless series of the year.

Give India some real challenge instead of a joke team

 

[giri26]

I am happy that the series has finally come to an end. Nothing against Sri Lanka but again, this series served no purpose and glad that it has come to an end.

I know it is not easy beating India in India. But seriously, Sri Lanka need to be banned from cricket! Or at least relegated to some unknown division.
