Yes once again india beat srilanka, this time it was t20. It was all round performance from india. 150 in t20 is a chasable target so it was indian bowling that bought the win. Irfan was superb by picking initial wickets. Irfan had made a good come back. Virat once again showed good performance, this time he was good with his bat and ball. He bowled a good economic spell. It was an one off series so there were two awards, man of the series and man of the match. Irfan got man of the match and virat got man of the series. And it was a good finish to the series.

Yes, 150 was surely a chase able target, also SL has deep batting line up.
Indian Bowlers did the job perfectly, especially Irfan.
He took the very important wickets, and after that Indians started picking wickets regularly.
Yes Kohli was doing best not only with bat but also with ball, he bowled a very good tight spell, it would have made the batsmen in to m ore pressure and finally getting out.
Yes its good that both Virat and Irfan who played key role in India victory got the MOS and MOM award.

Wow! Great news. As a Indian I really feel proud. For some personal issue I missed today's india vs srilanka t20 match. And now I knew the news. Virat is always well as usual. Dinda is a new hope of Indian pace bowling. By the way I am bengali so I also feel proud for dinda.
Thank you.

Irfan was bowling beautifully.
He started picking wickets from the first over by getting Dilshan. He took another top order batsmen in his next over.
And Jayawardane was looking well, and then he took his wicket also.
Dinda mainly took the wicket of tail enders and ended with 4 wickets.
The Wickets Irfan took was more valuable than Dinda took.
Irfan won the MOM award.
This was only T20, so the MOS award was given to Virat Kohli.

I did not watch the match but I am confused about the man of the match was Irfan Pathan while Dinda's spell was 3over only 27 runs and 4wicket. Irfan was take 3 and more costly than Dinda. Can you explain me how is this possible? Do agree with it? While Virat scored 68 also and it was a T20 match.

More importantly than Kohli, I would say it was a fantastic performance from Irfan. I am very happy to see Pathan return back to form as he adds balance to this team which is very much required in the absence of Yuvraj. With this win, India moves up from 7th position to 4th position in the ICC rankings.
Cheers!

Yes, it was nice to see pathan in action. Not only in this match but also in the ODI series he was bowling superbly and picking wickets.
And Irfan for the Man of the Match for his spell of 4-0-27-3.Irfan is a very good all rounder. His presence is very vital as we don't have many all rounders
Aswin and Kohli bowled very tightly, which helped to maintain pressure on the Lankans.
Also Dinda contributed well, its very good to see Indian Bowlers performing well.
Kohli fot the Man of the series award for his all round performance.
And its happy to see India at 3th position.

It's good to see Indian team perform so well against Sri Lanka, with this t20 win it makes Indian team will have great confidence.
Now let's see if Indian team can keep up the performance against New Zealand as the tour is going to start in 27 in India ....

Yes, India have won both t20 and ODI series, so its a big boost up for India.
NZ are not in a winning streak.
They lost all the matches vs West Indies, so India will have upper hand.

Yes it was a good T20 match but more from India's perspective. Frankly speaking I didn't find Lankans upto the mark. They could have done a lot better making it a bit more difficult for Indians. On the other hand Indians are carrying forward their wonderful form from ODIs. They are really having a good time preparing for the upcoming T20 world cup. Irfan his back with a bang. Dinda showing his skills too. India;s bowling department is supporting batsmen well. I hope they continue more of this. My best wishes are with them.

Yes, Lankans was not up to their mark, I think they really missed Sangakkara.
And its fantastic to see both bowling and batting department performing well, its really beneficial and boost up for any team.
So the team is upto its best.
Rohit was the one who miserably failed in this tour, other than him, I think all performed well.
Hope India will continue these performance in the upcoming matches also.

Super allround performence by India. It is very rare thing that India is doing good in Bowling department.
Even though Kohli palyed agood innings. I will give the credit to Irfan pathan. What a come back series this man had. Chipped in 3 vital wickets in front and broke the back bone of Srilankan batting. He is the deserving man of the match for yesterdays match.
Kohli again Played a very measured innings. He didn't throwed his bat at everything. He palyed real quality strokes.

Irfan Pathan and Virat Kohli's form has been great and proved to be crucial for India in this series against Sri Lanka. In ODIs, and Twenty-20, Raina's form has also been great.Let us see how this win augurs for India in upcoming Twenty-20 World cup.

Yes, Kohli was brilliant as usual. No one expected that Dinda will perform like this, he is not much aged, just 28.
All bowers performed well in this match.
hope India will play like this in the future also.
