Team India defeated Sri Lanka in the 2nd T20 International by 69 runs and leveled the 3 match series 1-1. Indian players played a superb game with an all-round performance to win the game by a big margin. Most of the match were one-sided towards India as Sri Lankan batsmen failed to score big facing Indian bowling line-up. Dhawan gave a glimpse of what he is capable of by hitting a magnificent 51 off 25 balls scoring his first T20I fifty.
Rohit Sharma, Raina and Pandya supported the team to put 196/6 on the board. Sri Lanka couldn’t score and scored 127/9 in 20 overs.
Twitter was buzzing with tweets from praising Dhawan, Dhoni, Pandya to trolling Russell Arnold and Sri Lankan bowlers.

The only person who can get bail faster than Salman Khan is Dhoni.#INDvsSL

Dhawan, brilliant half century. At breakneck speed but never looked like taking bizarre risk

First T20 Half Century for Shikhar Dhawan and it came in just 22 balls complete turnaround in 2nd T20..

This series is classic example of how important conditions are in any cricket match

Very interesting choice from Dhoni to push young Pandya ahead of himself and Yuvraj. And he’s not hanging around!!

He didn’t come to bat at his home ground and given a chance to Pandya.
A true leader – Mahendra Singh Dhoni#IndvsSL ?— Chicken Biryanii (@ChickenBiryanii) February 12, 2016
Kudos to Dhoni’s captaincy! Used his best option Ashwin for 3 overs in the PP and brought back Bumrah to clean up the tail. Genius! #INDvSL

Win by 69 runs – India’s 3rd biggest win (by runs) in a T20I match#IndvSL

(On his stumpings) Being unorthodox helps. Credits goes to the bowler, he beat the batsman: MS Dhoni.
Never takes any credit. #INDvSL

If MS Dhoni was thief he will be the best stealer in the world as he will take things when you blink your eye ?
