IND vs SL: Fans on social media could not keep calm after Rahul Tripathi toyed with the Sri Lankan bowling attack smacking 35 runs off just 16 balls. The right-hander who was playing his second T20 international match for India, showed great character coming in at number 3 after Ishan Kishan departed early. However, his sensational knock came to an end after hitting Karunaratne for two sixes in the final over of the powerplay.
