All eyes on Yash Dhull
The skipper will be among the players to look out for when the Indian team steps in for the chase. He has had his fair of captaincy in the past. He has the experience of leading Delhi’s U-16, U-19, and India ‘A’ U-19 sides, and the right-hander is often termed as a classy batter.

The story so far
On a wicket that contradicts Sri Lanka's decision to bat first, Indian seamers and spinners have been brilliant. Ravi Kumar drew first blood and Raj Bawa also added one wicket under his belt, leaving Sri Lanka reeling at 15/2 after the first Powerplay. Kaushal Tambe joined the wicket-takers list by picking two quick wickets but the highlight of the day so far has been Vicky Ostwal's display with the ball.
