Suryakumar Yadav’s golden run with the bat was beautifully complemented by the Indian bowling unit led by Bhuvneshar Kumar as the visitors outclassed Sri Lanka by 38 runs in the first T20 International here on Sunday.
If Surya’s second T20 International half-century—an attractive 50 off 34 balls—ensured a decent total of 164 for 5, Yuzvendra Chahal (1-19 in 4 overs) oozed class while Deepak Chahar (2-24 in 3 overs) and Bhuvneshwar (4-22 in 3.3 overs) picked up wickets when it mattered most, bowling the hosts out for 126 in 18.3 overs
In fact, from 111-4 in the 16th over, Sri Lanka lost their last six wickets for only 15 runs.
