Young talents of Ishan Kishan and Prithvi Shaw had shown their talent with the bat in the first ODI against Sri Lanka, and the Indian team management would now expect clinical performances from them as the Shikhar Dhawan-led side looks to gain an unassailable lead in the three-match series on Tuesday. Kishan scored 59 while Shaw played a knock of 43 to help India get off to a good start in the first ODI, and on the back of Shikhar Dhawan's calm 86-run knock, the visitors scripted a seven-wicket win. 

Only Manish Pandey looked uncomfortable with the bat as he scored 26 off 40 balls. The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal played a match together for the first time since the 2019 World Cup match against England. Both spinners took two wickets each during the middle phase and resembled their old self, death bowling again remains a concern for the Indian side as Bhuvneshwar could not able to execute the yorkers at the end. He conceded  63 runs in 10 overs.

But Krunal Pandya and Hardik Pandya also had a good impact with the ball. Both of them took one wicket apiece. Hardik's bowling was a pleasant sign as he remains one of the vital cogs in the T20 World Cup scheme of things. Hardik might have bowled just five overs but it is a positive sign that he has started to bowl in the 50-over format. Krunal completed his quota of 10 overs and he conceded just 26 runs. The lack of experience was clearly visible as the young Indian outfit looked in complete control.
