Rahul and Dhawan perish, India lose early wkts

November 16, 2017 14:19

India 13-2 (7 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Dhawan picks another single on the leg side before Pujara finally gets off the mark with a streak boundary after facing 22 balls.

He plays away from his body to get a thick outside edge but it bounces well short and goes past the slips for a four.

Lakmal strikes again in his next over. Dhawan goes for an expansive drive through the off-side but gets an inside edge which crashes back on to his stumps.

Dhawan is bowled for eight to leave India in early trouble on 13 for two.

New batsman Virat Kohli is lucky to survive first ball as he is beaten outside the off-stump by a full outswinger, which narrowly misses the edge.

Four slips and two gullies for Kohli as Sri Lanka continue to attack with the new ball but he manages to see off the over.

Lakmal is yet to concede a run in his first four overs, while dismissing both the Indian openers. Superb stuff from the Sri Lankan pacer.
