Suryakumar Yadav slammed a 45-ball century to help India beat Sri Lanka by 91 runs and win their Twenty20 series 2-1 on Saturday.

Yadav finished 112 not out off 51 balls for his third T20 hundred, and India amassed 228-5.

In reply, Sri Lanka was bowled out for 137 runs in 16.4 overs.

India won the first game in Mumbai by two runs and Sri Lanka won the second in Pune by 16 runs. India’s unbeaten streak of 11 bilateral home series at home since 2019 was also at risk.

    When we had a chance to win in last Ball with a boundary, our batsman failed!! Moreover, left 2 balls in the last over because it came out of the off stump, Huh, he should've taken a swing at it or just whack it, when chasing 13 runs to win in 6 balls!! That's what normally any batsmen would do !! We had the series opener, but we let it slipped away!!

    We are happy about Indian performance. But India performs almost only in Indian soil Thus beyond India Indian players cannot perform well On the other hand Srilankan players are performing well beyond Srilankan soil. Further comparatively to India Srilankan players are talented however little bit inexperienced. Although Srilanka loses the series 2-1 Srilankan players are having the momentum and strength to become the champions in world cricket
