Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan after winning the ODI series against Sri Lanka in the second match stated that the team thought Manish Pandey and Suryakumar Yadav would guide them to victory.

Suryakumar scored a gutsy 53 run while Manish got out at 37 for the visitors. But it was Deepak Chahar who played one of the most memorable knocks to steer India to a thrilling win over Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium on Tuesday. Chahar (69*) smashed a brilliant fifty and stitched an unbeaten 84-run stand with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (19*) to take India home after the visitors were reduced to 193/7 in the second ODI.
