India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI: Team India, led by Shikhar Dhawan, cruised to a seven-wicket win against Sri Lanka in the first ODI on Sunday at the R Premadasa Stadium. The Rahul Dravid-coached side excelled in all three departments en route to registering a comprehensive victory. While the spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav was excellent with the ball, the 'Men in Blue' were brutal with the bat as Prithvi Shaw, debutant Ishan Kishan, and Dhawan helped the side chase down 263 in just 36.4 overs.
