In their debut T20 International match, India scored 162 for five against Sri Lanka. When India was put in to bat, they lost wickets at frequent intervals before bouncing back to reach 160 at the Wankhede Stadium. Ishan Kishan, the opener, scored 37 off 29 balls, while new T20I captain Hardik Pandya added 29 off 27 deliveries. Axar Patel struck 31 off 20 balls, while Deepak Hooda blasted 41 off 23 balls.

WHAT AN EXCITEMENT! When Chamika Karunaratne (23* off 16) hit a stunning six off Axar Patel in the final over, Sri Lanka was ahead. Because Sri Lanka just needed five runs off the final three balls, the scenario was completely flipped around in their favour. But despite completing two run-outs off the final two balls, India maintained composure to eke out a dramatic 2-run victory.

The landing zone was a little slippery. Was waiting for six years after playing U19. Had to work hard in those six years - got injured as well. For a while it looked like my dream will remain a dream. But I kept at it. Having played the IPL, the nervousness is a little less. My idea in the powerplay is to attack and get them out. Favorite dismissal was the first one, getting him bowled. Debutant Shivam Mavi (4-0-22-4)
