A complete all-round display of cricket by India, described as “Smart performance” by skipper Rohit Sharma, saw the Men in Blue avenge their series-opener defeat against Sri Lanka in the 4th T20I of the Nidahas Trophy tri-series in Colombo. After restricting the Islanders to a mediocre total of 152, India didn't have the best of starts in their chase but still managed to clinch the win in a comfortable manner. Despite several superstar players – Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah – missing from India's tour of Sri Lanka, the series has gathered enough viewership and ace Tennis star Sania Mirza's tweet on Monday's match is the prime example of the same.

Chasing a 153-run target in a match which was curtailed to 19 overs due to rain, Team India had to win the contest not just to reaffirm their supremacy but to show that their defeat against the same opposition in the series opener was only a fluke. The 4th T20I of the series saw India's opening duo of Rohit Sharma (11) and Shikhar Dhawan (8) failing to provide the start that the team had desired, as both batsmen were sent back to the pavilion in the fourth over with only 22 runs on board.

Chasing a modest target of 153 runs, Suresh Raina gave India's innings the reliability after the departure of both openers. The left-hander, along with KL Rahul, failed to carry their innings forward, giving Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik the perfect opportunity to showcase their skills. The duo remained unbeaten as the Men in Blue chased down the target in 17.3 overs.

Indian speedster Shardul Thakur was named Man of the Match for his highly economical 4-wicket haul, but it was Rohit Sharma and Co's all-round performance that took the team to No. 1 position in the tri-series standings.
