  1. “Suryakumar Yadav is a great player” – Shikhar Dhawan Team India captain Shikhar Dhawan applauded the middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav after winning the first T20I against Sri Lanka at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. While playing only the third T20I match, Suryakumar Yadav slammed his second fifty to steer India to a decent total of 164 for five.

Notably, the 30-year-old Mumbai batter was the leading scorer in the innings with a 34-ball 50 as well. “I thought we were 10-15 runs short, but we felt it was still a good total. We played quite well after losing a wicket on the first ball. Getting to 50 in the powerplay was good. Surya is a great player, and we enjoy watching him bat. He was taking pressure off me as well,” said Shikhar Dhawan in the post-match presentation. However, Shikhar Dhawan became the seventh captain to lead India in the T20Is. And, Dhawan credited the Indian bowlers for the win and said how difficult it was to face the debutant mystery spinner Varun Chakravarty as well. He also backed Prithvi Shaw, who got a first-ball duck in his T20I debut and believes he will bounce back strongly in the next game for sure. “Sri Lanka were playing well, but we knew our spinners will get some turn. Yuzvendra Chahal and Krunal Pandya bowled really well. Even Bhuvenshwar Kumar bowled well. And even Varun Chakravarty, playing his first match. It’s very hard to pick Varun; even I find it difficult to face him in the nets. Prithvi is playing really well, and I am sure he will bounce back in the next game,” added Shikhar Dhawan, who scored a 36-ball 46.
