IND vs SL Live Score: India are taking on Sri Lanka in the first match of the three-match T20I series at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, which is the venue for today's game.

Since him taking over the captaincy full time from Virat Kohli, the Mumbaikar has not lost even a single game out of the nine he has played so far.
