SL vs IND 2nd ODI: Suryakumar Yadav falls after scoring fifty, India in deep trouble

Team India batsman Suryakumar Yadav notched up his maiden half-century in ODIs in just his second game in the second match against Sri Lanka. However, the 30-year old soon departed after the left-arm wrist spinner Lakshan Sandakan trapped him in front of the wickets as the hosts reduced India to 160/6 as the visitors still need 114 more runs to win the game.

While Suryakumar guarded one end, the wickets kept falling regularly for Team India from the other as none of them could stay for a while. Opener Prithvi Shaw got out cheaply after smashing a couple of fours as Wanindu Hasarange foxed him with a googly.

Ishan Kishan too went early. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan and Manish Pandey stemmed the wicket-flow for a little bit before Hasaranga came back to get his second plumbing Dhawan LBW. Suryakumar Yadav then joined forces with Manish Pandey to take India's innings forward.

Both of them were aggressive from the start and had started to dictate terms. They took India's total beyond 100 and now the visitors started to look in a commanding position. The duo brought up a 50-run stand and just as they were looking to take India on the way, Manish Pandey unfortunately got dismissed on the non-striker's end after bowler Dasun Shanaka's hand touched the ball on the way.

Hardik Pandya too was dismissed cheaply by Shanaka himself and it was down to Surya and elder Pandya, Krunal to do the heavy lifting. Surya continued on his merry run to bring up his half-century before falling prey to Sandakan
