The India skipper Rohit Sharma didn’t have a memorable outing with the bat on Saturday in the second T20I against Sri Lanka, but he surely enjoyed the performances of the Indian middle-order. The hosts had lost two early wickets while chasing a target of 184 runs. However, Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson made a solid partnership followed by Ravindra Jadeja as the destroyed the Sri Lankan bowling attack and helped India to chase down the score with 17 balls to spare.
During the whirlwind partnership between Iyer and Jadeja, the camera panned onto skipper Rohit Sharma in the dressing room when he was having a cup of hot beverage amidst Dharamshala’s chilly weather. Rohit suddenly noticed that the camera was on him while sipping coffee, so he offered one to the cameraperson as well and had a laugh about it as well.

The visitors had a daunting first innings score and Indian batters had their task cut out. Iyer led India’s response with the bat and he remained unbeaten with knock of 74 off 44 as he stitched crucial partnerships, first with Samson of 84 runs and then the unbeaten 58-run stand with Jadeja, who took ripped apart SL bowling attack with a quickfire 45* off 18.
