Young Indian batsman Ishan Kisha celebrated his 23rd birthday with a dazzling half-century on debut while skipper Shikhar Dhawan helped India to a seven-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the opening ODI here on Sunday. The wicket was slow and even after that, the Sri Lankan young players managed to get 262 for nine, which wasn't going to be enough against India's batting might.

Ishan Kishan faced the ball and ent it for the maximum with this the maturity can be gauged. he faced and followed it up with a square-driven boundary. The short Mumbai Indians man then decided to use his bat like a sledgehammer, scoring the second-fastest ODI fifty on debut -- off 33 balls -- to kill the contest inside the first 20 overs. He did live dangerously getting reprieve twice but his 59 off 42 balls with eight fours and two sixes certainly makes him a strong contender to make it to the final list of 20 for the ICC T20 World Cup.

Dhawan started playing his shots to not let the momentum gone away and like before, hitting boundaries and a six. Apart from Pandey, the other performance that was not well has come from Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0/63 in 9 overs), who was very expensive. Kuldeep and Chahar used the flight and drift more, while Krunal's wicket-to-wicket deliveries and the speed at which he bowled, was commendable. Between the three, they bowled 98 dot balls.
