Indian team is all set to play the second T20 match, cruising to a 38-run win after animating performance from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Chahar, and Yuzvendra Chahal beside them Suryakumar Yadav backed them to defend a rather modest total of 164 against Dasun Shanaka’s side.

In batting, Suryakumar Yadav was the star having scored a half-century while Shikhar Dhawan slammed 46.IND vs SL 2nd T20 will be played at Colombo. But today, the focus will on Samson, who has always been rated highly and as the "next big thing" but has flattered in an India jersey in all the chances that he has got. An average of 13.75 across eight games with sufficient opportunity to bat at the top-order doesn't bode well for Samson at a time when Indian cricket's talent cupboard is overflowing with riches.
