Axar Patel's exploits with the bat kept India in the hunt, despite being 57 for 5 in the tenth over. He demonstrated his batting skills for the second time in two games after taking 2 for 24 from his four overs.
Axar Patel's blistering 65 of 31 balls and Suryakumar Yadav's 51 of 36 balls went in vain as India lost to Sri Lanka by 16 runs in a high-scoring match at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium here on Thursday.
India conceded seven no-balls and gave away plenty of runs in free hits. Arshdeep Singh overstepped three times in a row in the second over of the innings, becoming the first Indian bowler to bowl a hat-trick of no-balls in T20Is.
Tejaswini Sawant proved her command over the discipline with a score of 618 points, beating second-placed Bhakti Khamkar of Mumbai by a margin of 4.5 points. Pune's Pranali Suryawanshi bagged the bronze with a total of 611.7 points.
India handed a debut to two youngsters in Shubhman Gill and Shivam Mavi. Captain Hardik Pandya presented the T20I cap to Mavi while vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav gave Gill his T20I cap before the toss.
Head coach Rahul Dravid said: "...you have got the character to get out of these difficult situations. This is one such challenge, I know you are gonna bounce back.."
