It was a whitewash in the series for Sri Lanka. After an early exit from the Champions Trophy, they suffered a blow against Zimbabwe. But their woes didn’t end there. India thrashed them on the test, ODI, and T20I series in all the games.

The last nail in the coffin was the lone T20I when India clinched in a 7 wickets victory over Sri Lanka. Captain Virat Kohli led the team from the front and played blazing innings of 82 runs. Manish Pandey’s unbeaten fifty too came up in good times and the 119-run stand for the 3rd wicket.

Here are some of the statistics from the match:
