Team India opener Prithvi Shaw shares a good bond with opener Sikhar as they have spent a lot of time together. Prithvi Shaw's wonderful inning of 43 from 24 balls was one of the highlights of his capability as he was playing T20, not ODI. Shikhar Dhawan (86*) and Ishan Kishan (59) starred with the bat as India defeated Sri Lanka by seven wickets and gained a 1-0 lead in the series.

"Shikhar Dhawan and I open together for Delhi Capitals. Although we were good friends before Delhi Capitals, opening together has made our bond stronger," Prithvi Shaw said on Star Sports' show Follow The Blues. "Off the field, we used to spend a lot of time together, whether it was having dinner together or chilling in his room," Shaw added. Further, he added, "When I play for India or any other team, I always put the team forward. So, obviously, I want to go there and win the series for India. We used to talk a lot and our bond was visible on the wicket (during the game). Whether it was off the field or between the overs, we used to talk a lot. I thoroughly enjoy practicing with him"
