It was refreshing to watch players try to succeed in this format.
There’s quite a bit of tidying up to do, but I’ll be able to finish it soon.#SLvIND

In SL, the Indian team is 2/2. Thanks to the good combined efforts of the bowlers and batsmen, there was no setback in the chase. The biggest plus so far is the bowling of Riyan Parag. He bowled 3 wkts in the last match and today he bowled 4 overs. Well done 👏🏼 #SLvIND

It was a good throw to win in the end. 160 could have been a much different game. Played with the boys.
