IND VS SL: Virat Kohli kisses Yuzvendra Chahal after Kusal Mendis’ wicket

Coming out to chase the target, the Sri Lankan batters seemed very confident and sure of their batting right from the word go. The Indian bowling unit was yet again playing in the absence of Avesh Khan and R Ashwin replaced Bishnoi in the squad for the game. Sri Lanka made full use of the powerplay and were 57 for zero. They lost their first wicket on the first ball of the 12th over. Yuzvendra Chahal’s proved to be crucial for the game as he picked up Pathum Nissanka first and then Charith Asalanka in the same over.

The chasing seemed to be on the back foot as they lost a couple of quick wickets. Back in the 15th over of the game, Chahal picked his man, the dangerous-looking Kusal Mendis. This wicket gave the team confidence and a grip on the game. Pleased with the performance of Chahal, Kohli couldn’t contain his happiness. Delighted, he kissed Chahal on the forehead. Unfortunately, the wickets came late and the damage was already done.

With 7 runs to defend in the final over, it was a nail-biting finish with Sri Lanka emerging victorious. The loss has affected team India’s chances of the finals. They will now face Afghanistan in their last game of the competition. Whereas, Sri Lanka is in the solid position to be the finalist.
