India vs Sri Lanka Highlights, 2nd T20: India registered a 7-wicket victory against Sri Lanka to seal yet another series victory under Rohit Sharma's captaincy on Saturday.

Earlier, Sri Lanka struck early blows on India as Dushmantha Chameera dismissed Rohit Sharma on 1. Ishan Kishan (16) also fell in the powerplay.

India vs Sri Lanka 2nd T20 Live: Focus on Samson

The Kerala batter didn't get to bat in the first T20I but the focus remains on him as the side prepares for the second match of the series.

Rohit had high praise for Samson and also hinted that he will be in the frame for the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year. One doesn't need an introduction to Samson's big-hitting abilities, but the batter will be aiming to tackle his inconsistency as he receives the opportunity to don the blue.

Will Samson be promoted to number 4 - or possibly, at 3?

IND vs SL 2nd T20 Live Score: A shuffle in batting order?

With Gaikwad's absence, it is more or less confirmed that Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma will continue to open; and there was little reason to change the combination as well, thanks to the duo's brilliant opening stand in the 1st T20 (111 runs in 11.5 overs).

However, the promotion of Ravindra Jadeja at no.4 did raise some eyebrows.
