Depleted India aim to continue winning run in T20s

TIL Desk Sports/ The bench strength is expected to be tested but India are unlikely to lower the intensity when they take on Sri Lanka in a three-match Twenty20 series starting in Cuttack on Wednesday, aiming to extend their dominance in the shortest format as well.

Following a 1-0 win in the three-match Test series, India, without inspirational skipper Virat Kohli, hardly broke a sweat to clinch the one-day series 2-1 and Rohit Sharma and Co. will look to polish off the T20I series on a perfect note.

Sri Lanka have been no match to India barring their one-off spectacular bowling effort in Dharmasala in the opening ODI. After India bounced back in Mohali, Sri Lanka had their best chance in Visakhapatnam but they collapsed from 136 for one to be bundled out for 215.

A resilient India quickly got into the act after an inspirational stumping by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. This was followed by the spin twin of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal running through the Lankan batting to claim three wickets each.
