Two of the stars of India's win in the first ODI against Sri Lanka - Prithvi Shaw and Ishan Kishan - both fell cheaply as India were two wickets down in the second game of the ongoing three-match series, chasing 276 runs.

Leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga foxed Prithvi Shaw with a googly as the latter failed to cover his stumps and was clean bowled after scoring just 13 runs, while the left-handed Ishan Kishan chopped a Kasun Rajitha delivery straight onto his stumps as India were reduced to 39/2 after five overs.

Shaw, who played a sensational fast knock of 43 runs off 24 balls in the first game started in the same fashion hitting two fours of pacer Kasun Rajitha in the first over. However, Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka reacted with a quick change getting in a slow bowler, which is an Achilles heel for Shaw.

It worked wonders for them and last game's half-centurion Ishan Kishan too fell early going for a big off-drive but couldn't time it properly.

Earlier, Sri Lanka scored 275/9 batting first on the back of Charith Asalanka's knock of 65 runs and a cameo by Chamika Karunaratne.
