Indian Cricket Team were at their best during the 2nd ODI versus Sri Lanka. Former India skipper Virat Kohli played a key role in the wicket of Sadeera Samarawickrama. The 35-year-old did his best Riyan Parag impression. As soon as he took the catch of Samarawickrama, Virat Kohli did Bihu Dance celebration. 

Riyan Parag pulled out this celebration during the Indian Premier League and it went viral on the internet. Indian bowlers did a great job of getting wickets at regular intervals. Before the 40th over could begin the home team had already lost six wickets. 

Sri Lanka had won the toss and chose to bat first just like they had in the first ODI. India decided to play with the same team that had taken to the field in the first match. Rishabh Pant is yet to play an ODI as KL Rahul was preferred as the wicketkeeper.

Indian bowlers pick wickets at regular intervals

The visiting Indian side made a great start to the game when Mohammed Siraj dismissed Pathum Nissanka off the first ball. KL Rahul took a great catch behind the stumps to jolt the hosts. 

Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis then added 74 runs for the second wicket. Washington Sundar dismissed both the batters in a space of one over as Fernando fell for 40 and Kusal Mendis was out for 30. 

Sadeera Samawickrama was then out for 14 before Kuldeep Yadav dismissed Janith Liyange out for 12. Washington Sundar then dismissed skipper Charith Asalanka for 25 as the home team yet again lost six wickets in a heap. 

For the second game in a row Dunith Wellage was the thorn in the flesh of the Indian side. The left-handed batter combined forces with Kamindu Mendis as the pair added over 50 runs for the 7th wicket and took the score past 200. 

India failed to dislodge the pair as Rohit Sharma even brought himself onto bowl. The visitors were a bit lethargic on the field as Shivam Dube dropped an easy catch to give the Mendis and Wellage pair yet another life. At the time of writing the score read 201 for 6 in the 46th over.
