India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, 2nd ODI at Colombo: Sri Lanka Win Toss, Opt to Bat First

Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal finally came to the fore as the duo once again hunted in pack at Colombo in the second ODI against Sri Lanka. ‘Kulcha’ accounted for four wickets and made sure that they slow down the hosts. This brought back memories from 2018 tour of South Africa where the duo went after  Protea middle-order; these two were on the money yesterday as India beat Sri Lanka with fourteen overs to spare.

Chahal is slowly and steadily gaining ground in international cricket. He had taken a couple of wickets against Sri Lanka in 1st ODI; now he stands on the cusp of an interesting record. He can be the fastest Indian bowler to reach 100 international wickets.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the 2nd ODI between India and Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa stadium, Colombo on Tuesday. In the first ODI India beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets and they will now look to seal the three-game series today. While Shikhar Dhawan, who is leading the Indian team for the first time, was the star of the first match with an unbeaten 86 that took the team to victory, India had plenty of other positives from the match.
