🏏Sri Lanka vs India-T20I Series: M3 SCA Stadium, Rajkot 07/01/2023🏏 - Page 13

Hardik Pandya | India captain: I think he (SKY) has been surprising everyone every innings that he is batting. He is just telling us that batting is so easy. If I were bowling to him, I'd be disheartened on seeing his batting. Special mention to Rahul Tripathi - the ball was doing something but he showed great intent. Then SKY did his thing. You don't need to tell him anything, he knows what to do. If there is any situation where he is unsure, we have our chats but more often than not, he knows what to do. I'm really proud of him (Axar), the way he is batting down the order and hitting. This will give a lot of confidence to him and the team as well. My motto in life as captain has been that I'll back my players. These are the best T20 cricketers in India and that's why they are here. There is no space for doubting in this format and we're backing the players properly. The way we played in the series is pleasing, we didn't even play 50 percent of our game in the second game but we still fought well.

The trophy is handed over to Hardik who gives it to the younger teammates and they're all merrily posing away for the photographs.

. A young team led by a young captain and India will be happy with the way things panned out. As Hardik himself admitted, there are areas to work on for sure but it's a decent start for this new-look Indian side. Sri Lanka fought hard and needn't be too disappointed with the result, although they'll wish that they had competed well today.

All smiles as Hardik collects the winner's trophy from Niranjan Shah. Hardik then runs across and hands over the trophy to Shivam Mavi and Jitesh Sharma, who have assembled for the photograph with the rest of the team. Mukesh Kumar is there as well. Lovely to see. Mavi and Jitesh hold the trophy aloft.

Yes. The 3 match T20 series between India and SriLanka is over. India won the series by 2-1.

Next will be ODI series between the 2 teams starting from 10th Jan.

💐 Congratulations to Team India for this emphatic victory because of Suryakumar Yadav's extraordinary batting display with surgical precision. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
