    What's the story

    India beat Sri Lanka in the 3rd and final T20I on Saturday to seal the series by a 2-1 margin.

    In a must-win scenario, the hosts rode on Suryakumar Yadav's 3rd T20I hundred to post a staggering 228/5.

    Shubman Gill hammered a fine 46. In response, Sri Lanka lost both their openers in the powerplay as the tall target was hard to climb.

    IND vs SL

    How did the match pan out?

    India lost Ishan Kishan early before a brisk cameo from Rahul Tripathi gave India the impetus.

    Shubman and Suryakumar added a record century-plus stand before the latter helped India get past 220.

    In response, SL started well but lost their way. From 44/0, they were reduced to 51/3.

    India maintained their composure and got the job done to seal a series win.

    Suryakumar and Shubman brought up a 111-run partnership for the third wicket in merely 53 deliveries. As per ESPNcricinfo, it's the joint-third-highest stand by India for any wicket against Sri Lanka in the format, equaling Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan's tally in February 2022.

    Second fastest T20I ton by an Indian
