Sri Lanka hoped to change their fortune in a new format against India, but the story so far doesn’t suggest something new. Sri Lanka came to bowl after winning the toss and made as many as four changes in the team while India rested Shikhar Dhawan to brought KL Rahul back in.

The track was not batting paradise in Cuttack’s Barabati stadium but Indian batsmen made a par score on this surface. In his comeback game, Rahul scored a sparkling fifty in just 34 balls but he perished after scoring 61 in his personal account.

Today, Cuttack’s crowd witness vintage MS Dhoni, who finished India’s innings in his very own style along with Manish Pandey. They both stitched 68 runs for the fourth wicket. Dhoni finished India’s innings with a towering six to extend the team total to 180.
