In a stellar debut as India's T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav led the team to a resounding victory against Sri Lanka. Despite an aggressive start by the hosts, Yadav felt the game was always within grasp due to favorable conditions.

Chasing a target of 214, Sri Lanka seemed poised for victory at 149 for 2 but collapsed dramatically, losing eight wickets for just 21 runs. Yadav, who earned 'Player of the Match' honors with a 26-ball-58, emphasized the absence of dew as a pivotal factor.

Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka acknowledged his team's missteps, particularly in the Powerplay. Despite a promising middle-order, Sri Lanka was bundled out for 170, missing a golden opportunity.
