Earlier, Sri Lanka struck early blows on India as Dushmantha Chameera dismissed Rohit Sharma on 1. Ishan Kishan (16) also fell in the powerplay. However, Shreyas and Samson forged an 84-run target to bring India back in the game before Ravindra Jadeja's fiery knock ensured India's victory. With this win, India secured a third-successive series victory since Rohit Sharma was named the full-time captain in November. India will eye another clean sweep win under Rohit when the side takes on Sri Lanka in the third and final T20I in Dharamsala.
