Siraj started India’s bowling and took the massive wicket of Danushka Gunathilaka in the first over. Siraj has just given nine runs in 3 overs and has taken a crucial wicket.

Bishnoi also got the breakthrough of Janith Liyanage in his first over.

Sri Lanka is in severe trouble. At a high-scoring pitch of Dharamshala, it would be difficult for Sri Lanka to reach a total of 150 if Dinesh Chandimal and Captain Dasun Shanaka don’t build a good partnership here.

In IPL Auction 2022, Avesh Khan became the most expensive uncapped player in the history of IPL. The new franchise Lucknow Super Giants roped in the pacer for INR 10 crore. Avesh made his T20 debut on 20th February against West Indies.

Siraj, Avesh, and Bishnoi were given a chance in this game in place of Bumrah, Bhuvi, and Chahal. The trio has done a fantastic job for India in this game so far, and it would be interesting to see would these youngsters be able to finish their spell pleasingly.
