India vs Sri Lanka Match Stats

OUT! LBW! Another one bites the dust and this time it is Kusal Mendis! What a breakthrough this is for India and Sri Lanka are in a spot of bother now. Chahal is a clever bowler and is a world-class performer and he is clearly showing all his class today. Bowls a flatter delivery. It is googly that pitches on middle and turns in. Mendis goes back to work it towards the leg side but misses.

The Ball Tracking rolls and it shows three reds. Mendis has to take that long walk back to the pavilion.
