Shivam Mavi can hit a long ball alright.

— AJN (@LifeIsAnElation) January 5, 2023

22:26 PM IST: 50 needed of 18!

Shivam Mavi hits the final ball of the 17th over for a four to bring the equation down to 50 of 18! India needs Axar Patel to bat till the end and keep the visitors on edge!

I may be wrong. But Shivam Mavi is not looking that convincing in the chase.#INDvSL

— SAPTAK SANYAL (@SAPTAKSANYAL2) January 5, 2023

22:19 PM IST: Suryakumar Yadav dismissed!!

A big loss for India as Suryakumar Yadav walks back to the hut! Shivam Mavi, who is known to tonk the ball is the next batter in!

Suryakumar Yadav dismissed for 51 in 36 balls. Big relief for Sri Lanka. #SLvsIND

— Younus Basheer (@Younus__Bashir) January 5, 2023

Highest T20I partnership by Indians for 6th or lower wicket:

22:15 PM IST: 50 for Suryakumar Yadav!!

Gem of an innings from Suryakymar Yadav. He has supported Axar Patel brilliantly in this game.

21:58 PM IST: Top notch bowling from Sri Lanka

India have managed to score just 85 runs in 12 overs. The hosts had to earn every run with the Sri Lankan bowlers doing very well with the ball so far. 

21:50 PM IST: Surya-Axar, India’s only hope! 

The Men in Blue sit at 64-5 after 1o overs ! The will need the duo to build a match winning partnership as a wicket and it is Sri Lanka’s game.

21:43 PM IST: India lost their fifth wicket!  

Hooda goes for 9 as Hasaranga gets the break through for Sri Lanka! The visitors surely have the game in their pocket now!

Deepak Hooda is such an overrated bogy. Useless when needed most #INDvsSL

— Atheist AF (@atheist__af) January 5, 2023

Hasaranga gets Hooda

India 5 down

that should be curtains for India

— MESSI IS GOAT (@tiredofidiocity) January 5, 2023

21:31 PM IST: Hooda to India’s rescue?

Deepak Hooda and Suryakumar Yadav need to steady India’s sinking ship with the required run rate sitting at 12.3. India are 47-4 after 7 overs.

#StarNaKelu
Will suryakumar yadav get half century in mastercard T20

— Ramesh shettigar (@RameshTulunad) January 5, 2023

21:20 PM IST: Hardik fails to shine!

The Indian skipper walks back after scoring 12 from the same number of balls!  Fans expected the Men in Blue captain to shine, who failed to deliver when the team needed him the most. 

Hardik Pandya goes for 12(12). India in deep trouble now. #INDvsSL pic.twitter.com/hJjxAHFXLk

— DIVYANSH¹⁷ ॐ (@ImDivyansh_17) January 5, 2023

20:38 PM IST: Arshdeep Singh!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

The 23 year old has conceded 37 runs in just two overs, while balling 5 no balls! BAD DAY for the speedster.  

12 no balls in Arshdeep's T20 career now. Since his debut, no other bowler from a Full Member side has bowled more than six no balls. Real concern for Arshdeep#arshdeepsingh#INDvsSL

— Lokender Tyagi (@lokendertyagi) January 5, 2023

20:27 PM IST: Shanaka goes BIG!

Umran Malik is smashed off 18 runs his final over as Sri Lanka sit at 168-6 with just 2 overs left in the innings! Meanwhile, he also bowls a no ball off the 5th delivery. WHAT IS WRONG with the INDIAN pacers!? 

Umran Malik is a useless bowler

— Madhu (@madhukar511) January 5, 2023

20:18 PM IST: Umran Malik gets 2 wickets! 

The Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler gets the much needed wicket of Asalanka as Subhmann Gill takes a fine catch in the deep. Later he clean bowls Hasaranga in the same over! 

Umran Malik does it again for India, 2nd in the match, the X factor.

— Rahul Aryan 👑🏏 (@Aryanrahul_143) January 5, 2023

Big wicket for India of Asalanka by Umran Malik… Sri Lanka are 138-5 #INDvsSL #HardikPandya #UmranMalik #Chahal #Tripathi

— Suryansh (@Suryansh1329) January 5, 2023

Charith Asalanka is the future of Sri Lanka. He was also their U19 captain. Certainly can take the game deep and take the attack to the opposition of what we have seen of him.#INDvSL #INDvsSL

20:07 PM IST: Dhananjaya walks back!

The ball goes straight into the hand of Deepak Hooda at long-on to hand Axar Patel the wicket! Meanwhile, Asalanka survives a close run out chance! 

4 year old Nephew is like “he went like a snake!” at the Asalanka dive 🤣

— Tareque Laskar (@tarequelaskar) January 5, 2023

Axar gets his 2⃣nd of the night 💪#INDvSL #TeamIndia

— Rahul Aryan 👑🏏 (@Aryanrahul_143) January 5, 2023

20:02 PM IST: Mavi proves expensive!

Shivam Mavi has bowled only 2 overs in the game so far but already 24 conceded runs in the game! Sri Lanka are 107-3 after 13 overs. 

Shivam Mavi is a very odd-even bowler… One day he will swing like anything, the next day he will get trashed like anything…

1st international catch for Rahul Tripathi 🔥🔥🔥

— kaali (@oddtake) January 5, 2023

Rahul Tripathi is one of those ex KKR player whom I'll never stop loving. He can score a 100 against KKR in a final and celebrate by taking his shirt off and I'll still love him. Impossible to hate that guy. #IndvSL

19:52 PM IST: Nearly missed! 

Chahal drops a tough chance but has fared well in the game otherwise. He has bowled three overs so far and conceded only 14 runs while taking a wicket. 

This chahal performance gonna haunt us for 2 more years 🤣

— Jay (@akhiyaaan) January 5, 2023

19:48 PM IST: Half way stage!

19:38 PM IST: Chahal gets the break through!

Chahal gets the wicket of Kusal Mendis! the SL batter is adjudged Lbw after the Indian team reviewed the decision. 

Chahal strikes, it was a beauty, followed by a great review to end a great knock of Kusal Mendis.

— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) January 5, 2023

19:32 PM IST: 50 for Mendis

Kushal Mendis is taking the Indian bowlers to the cleaners! Brings up his 50 in just 27 balls. 

Kusal Mendis, what a player 👏🏻
Just love him watching bat, fifty just off 27 balls. One of the best not just of Sri Lanka but of the world.#INDvSL | #KusalMendis | #T20I | #INDvsSL | #CricketTwitter

19:28 PM IST: Did Hardik Pandya make a wrong call? 

Hardik Pandya chose to bowl first on the pitch on a batting friendly wicket! Questions are being asked on why the all rounder opted for that.   

Teams prefer bowling first at Pune…but the recent record says that teams batting first have won more often. Tricky pitch. #IndvSL

Instead Rahul Tripathi … Washington Sundar will be better..!!

— MVVM (@MvvmMvcexpert86) January 5, 2023

Ruturaj Gaikwad deserves a chance ahead of Rahul Tripathi even though he is not a middle order player! IMHO.

15:32 PM IST: Who is Jitesh Sharma!?

The young Indian batter has shown a lot of promise in the domestic circuit. It remains interesting to see if he gets a chance to debut for India in the ongoing series. 

That is a really inspired and lovely choice to bring in Jitesh Sharma as a replacement

Good luck @jiteshsharma_ go well#INDvSL @BCCI

— DK (@DineshKarthik) January 5, 2023

Good to see Jitesh Sharma in the national squad.
-He bats a lot like TM Dilshan.
-He is just the second player from the region to make it this far.
-First being Umesh Yadav who made his India debut in 2011.#INDvSL | #INDvsSL

— Saikat Ghosh (@Ghosh_Analysis) January 5, 2023

15:00 PM IST: Ruturaj or Rahul? 

With Sanju Samson unavailable for the reminder of the T20I series, questions are raised on which batter will slot in the India’s line up for the second game.

My Playing XI for today's match would be:

1. Ruturaj
2. Ishan
3. Surya
4. Tripathi
5. Hardik
6. Hooda
7. Axar
8. Washington
9. Umran
10. Arshdeep / Mukesh
11. Shivam Mavi#INDvsSL

Ruturaj gaikwad ❤ https://t.co/ARmG1IyPoo

— Pavan'S❤️‍🔥#Shehnuary (@PavanR77) January 5, 2023

Ruturaj should replace Gill as the latter is not good enough as a T20 player. Tripathi can bat anywhere from 1 to 5. So Sanju should be replaced by him
