KL Rahul has thrown away a well-set half-century, falling for 50 to offer Sri Lanka XI their second breakthrough. Kesara discovered some flip from the floor and Rahul went for the slog, solely to be crushed utterly because the ball crashed into the stumps.
It seemed an pointless shot from Rahul, who had labored arduous to settle in alongside Devdutt Padikkal and will have continued rotating the strike. As an alternative, a quick lapse in judgement brings his innings to an finish. Curiously, Ravindra Jadeja has been despatched in at No. 4, with India seeking to rebuild as soon as once more.
Rating: IND 96/2 in 23.2 overs (Padikkal 56*, Jadeja 0*)
