On the 5th delivery of the 12th over, Kumara bowled a slower delivery which kept low. Rohit Sharma read the change of pace but was beaten by lack of bounce as the ball went below the Indian captain's bat and pegged the off-stump.

Prior to this, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to field first in the 1st T20I at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow. Team India got off to a great start as Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan added 111 runs in 71 balls for the first wicket. Ishan Kishan displayed a great attitude after having a rather disheartening series against West Indies recently.
