A simple catch at mid off of for Hardik Pandya as Hasaranga walks back to the hut! Mavi gets a crucial wicket for the hosts!

— Gaurav Nandan Tripathi 🜃 (@Cric_Beyond_Ent) January 3, 2023

— Jashandeep Singh (@Jashan_1604) January 3, 2023

The reason why Kuldeep is not able to retain his spot, because our team management is preferring all rounder who can bat also.
The way Axar Patel and Deepak Hooda are playing making other very difficult to get into the team.
Hooda 41 of 23, Axar 31 of 20
Taken India to 162/5

— Syed Faiz Abbas (@Faizabdii) January 3, 2023

Axar Patel and Deepak Hooda saved us from an upset tonight.

When Deepak Hooda strikes well ball goes well far in the crowd. Strong finish from India courtesy of Axar Patel & Deepak Hooda. #INDvsSL

Deepak Hooda stepping up for the team.
Smashed 3 big sixes and took India to a better score. I like the Indian team not giving up attitude after a collapse. 150 will be defendable on this pitch. India on 128-5 in 17 overs. #INDvSL

— Shaharyar Ejaz 🏏 (@SharyOfficial) January 3, 2023

Axar with a 4 after 2 dot balls .eans just 4 runs in 3 balls#axarpatel#axar #INDvsSL

— VK45🇮🇳 (@sportslovervk45) January 3, 2023

Deepak Hooda is useless if you play him down the order. Usko 4 pe khilao. And give him at least 2 overs. Otherwise, there's no point selecting him. Might as well go with a proper batsman or bowler.

— Moon Child 🌙🎑 |Kohli is god| 🌻 (@notsodumb_) January 3, 2023

Deepak hooda is the only good player in this setup. Hopefully he performs and grabs his opportunities

— Neutral (@elementary_talk) January 3, 2023

20:13 PM IST: India lose half the side! 

India are 94-5 as Hardik Pandya edges one back to Kusal Mendis off  Dilshan Madushanka’s ball! Axar Patel is the next man in for India! 

20:07 PM IST: Trouble in paradise?

India’s strike rate in the middle overs is a major point of trouble for the Men in Blue. The scoreboard reads at 94-4 at the end of 14 overs. The hosts need to accelerate . Meanwhile fans pose an interesting question. 

#INDvSL What is the rule if batsman gets catch out on no ball and takes a run ? It would be 2 runs or only 1 awarded..

— vikash singh (@vikas2222singh) January 3, 2023

19:56 PM IST: Kishan walks back!

The Indian opener is caught off in the deep as Hasaranga gets a big wicket for Sri Lanka!
