India vs Sri Lanka, 3rd T20I Match Live Updates: India are on the charge against Sri Lanka in the ongoing third T20I, with Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi keeping the scoreboard ticking in the powerplay. After electing to bat, India suffered an early blow as Ishan Kishan was dismissed for one in the first over of the innings by Dilshan Madushanka India remain unchanged for the series-decider in Rajkot, while Sri Lanka make one change — Avishka Fernando replaces Bhanuka Rajapaksa. After slumping to a 16-run loss in the second T20I, Team India will now look to redeem itself ahead of a three-match ODI series against the same opponents. In the second T20I, Team India slumped to 5 for 57 while chasing 207 before Axar Patel and Suryakumar Yadav stitched a 91-run stand. However, the visitors got their grip back in the game and registered a 16-run win. In the first T20I, India had won by two runs. India have not lost a home series since 2019 and that record is in danger today. The Dasun Shanaka-led side has been top notch, and will fance themselves to take the honours against a young Indian side. (LIVE SCORECARD)
