--------------------------------------------------------------

Rohit, winning captain and MoM: The stage was set. Good conditions to bat. Was trying to do what I always try to do - hit through the line. It's something I've been working on through the last few months. Went out there and had some fun. That's too much to ask (going for double hundred). No target here is defendable so we wanted to get as many as possible. KL started very well. He's in great form. There's a certain template to my batting. Don't try to overhit too much. Rely on my timing and hold my shape. Had a lot of faith in the wrist-spinners. They've always brought us back into the matches. These two guys never put their head down. Rather than being too defensive, they're prepared to flight the ball to take wickets. And they got the result. Kuldeep changed the game completely. I was very happy. Always had the belief that they're the ones who'll get us back in the game. It's always pleasing for a captain when a bowler comes and tells you what he wants to do (talking about Pandya). It's something he's been working on. It's paying dividends on the field. Only thing I said was back yourself. They stuck to their plans and got the result.

Perera: It's a tough series for us. Too big a target to chase. Tharanga and Kusal batted very well, giving us momentum, but others couldn't execute. Mathews is now out of the series due to his hamstring problem.

Kuldeep: First three overs 45 runs, but I was always thinking about wickets. I knew if I got one, I would probably get the second one. The first over (I bowled) was slow in the air, but the wicket was good to bat on and the ball was coming on nicely. Later on I was bowling wide of the batsman. I realized that I need to bowl it into the wicket. They (Dhoni and Rohit) were backing me and telling to look for the wicket. Small ground with small boundaries, Dhoni and Rohit were telling me to keep away from the batsman and try the variations outside the off-stump. Seven wickets in three overs really changed the game.

22:20 Local Time, 16:50 GMT, 22:20 IST: Fair play to Kusal Perera for going after it, but come on, Sri Lanka were never in this. And then they collapsed dramatically, losing 8 wickets in 25 balls with India's wrist-spinners exacting their retribution for all the punishment suffered at the hands of Perera. With this win, India have now sealed the T20I series with a 2-0 lead. It was pretty much sealed at the halfway mark. Oh this was bad, even for Sri Lanka - after all their sufferings on this tour. Whatever soul they had left coming into Indore, Rohit Sharma destroyed it as he equalled the fastest T20I hundred. And as far as a T20 innings goes, in terms of value for money, just take all my money. Doesn't get any more special than that. Stay with us for the presentations..

Hardik Pandya to Chameera, out Bowled!! It's all over. Mathews won't be coming out to bat after his injury. It's a slower ball from Pandya, gets it onto the stumps this time, and that's exactly what was needed with these Sri Lankan tailenders not really setting the stage on fire with their batting ability. Goes right through Chameera and takes out leg-stump. Chameera b Hardik Pandya 3(5)

Hardik Pandya to Chameera, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Hardik Pandya to Chameera, no run, floaty length ball outside off, Chameera takes himself too far away from it as he backs away

Jasprit Bumrah [2.0-0-20-0] is back into the attack
