]The Srilanka vs India T20 series was always going to be one-sided one and i do not know why people were giving unnecessary hype to be interesting matches. It was an easy win for India and with this they will name another series with themselves. The win will also give them confidence for the next series against Australia, which is a much better team.
The reason might be in the past several series India used to loose a game every series and used to come back from behind and in this series the first match was washed out and was expect one upset but since the series is on the line they dominated both the games, the series against Australia will be really competitive as they are playing well and i expect all the matches are close and the odds will be better.

Did not watch the match after seeing the first 10 overs. Totally dominated by team India, extremely poor performance by the srilankan team. They were struggling from the beginning. Srilankan coach and the team need to re think about their strategy.
Totally one sided match it was and that was not expected from Sri Lankan team. They are not an experienced players but they could have given some resistance.
Well, there is a new series around the corner and Aussies look ready for a war. Let's see how that one goes for Indians.

This Shardul Thakur turning out to be very good gamble for India in T-20, looking strong contender in bowling department who can come at number 8
down the order and clear the boundary easily at his wish. this is 2nd time i am watching him batting like this.
Okay its officially one sided game....
Shardul Thakur is playing really well and he can bat really well and can clear the boundary with ease and i am sure he will be an asset for the team because of his all around performance and it was really a one sided game as the Srilankan batsman was not able to perform against the Indian bowling attack and i expected it to be competitive but Bumrah bowled really well and they were unable to score against his bowling. down the order and clear the boundary easily at his wish. this is 2nd time i am watching him batting like this.

Yes Shardul Thakur played very well there at end of last two over he scored 22 runs in just 8 balls, it will help to india cross 200 mark and it is very difficult to chase to SriLanka now because they are already lost 2 wicket for 11 run.
SL needs 120 runs in 58 balls to win the match and they already lost 4 early wickets so it looks highly impossible for them to win at the moment but in T20 two good overs will make a big difference,if SL get 20+ runs in two overs then they will get down the required run rate to below 10 and then its possible to hit balls at the last few overs.And they have to do all these without losing any wickets. 
I'm getting a feeling that Sri Lanka might win the tomorrow's match and draw the series. India is in great form right now with Virat and Rahul playing consistently but it's a habit of Indian team that whenever there is a easy match to win, they lose. It should not happen tomorrow but the chances are high for Sri Lanka imo.
Possible but I don't think there is a high chance for that to occur. Well even if they are able to give a big score, there are plenty of batsman who will cover that margin. The only way will be to pick up 3-4 wickets of India as quick as possible.
It will be interesting to see who wins the toss and decides what tomorrow. I think bowling first should be the favourite.
Sri Lanka took bowling first but I don't think they can chase this score now against Indian bowling attack. It'll be hard for Sri Lanka to win this match but there may be a slight chance for them to chase this.
India opening partnership was so good that gave them a good platform to score big runs and this is what happened and now Indian bowlers are bowling well and took 4 wickets for a score of 83. SL require now 119 in 59 balls .
Both the openers KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan looking to play aggressively and India is scoring at 10 runs per over without a wicket loss. If they contiune and with wickets in hand, 220 is very much possible which will be impossible for srilanka to chase. Srilanka needs wickets now else it will be too late for them to save the match and series.
Picking the wickets was the option Sri Lanka had and they did just that by taking the wickets after India making a good opening partnership and i was expecting the team to score well over 200 and now they are in the last over and now Shardul Thakur is playing a cameo role clearing the boundary with easy carrying on the fine hitting he did in ODI.Edit: India is one short of 200 .
EDit 2: Finally finishing at 201 runs.

India finally lost the first wicket and even though Shikhar Dhawan was struggling in the start he scored a fifty before loosing his wicket, why Kohli did not come out to bat in his usual position and now India lost the second wicket, hope they will be able to continue the momentum and score a good total as i placed a bet on India to win even though the odds were not that great.
Looks like Indian batting line is collapsing after the great start by the openers. They have quickly lost four wickets and Kholi is the key now for how much India score. Superb come back by the srilankans which no one expected from them. India might end up 50 runs short or maybe more if Kholi get out early.

India started really good and was glad to see Sanju Samson in the team and he started off with a first ball six but was trapped in front the very next ball which was unfortunate but the spinners bowled really well and they lost 4 quick wickets and hopefully they will recover from this situation and score above 200 runs.

India started really well and to my surprise Sanju Samson is finally playing for India after a long gap of over 4 years and hope he will perform well and entertain the home crowd but the pressure he will be going through will be immense and lets see how he is going to overcome it. KL Rahul is in great form and he is the opener for India in the world cup and Dhawan is struggling and already Sri Lanka missed an opportunity in the boundary.

India is scoring over 10 runs per over and didn't lose any wicket,both players scored equally if Dhawan stats get going another batsman can support him from other end so basically India is aiming for huge first innings total.
And also players like more chances given to the young players to groom themselves at international standards hope they will use it wisely.

The third T20 between India and Sri Lanka will start now and Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field and hopefully we will see a match without any rain interruption and the match depends upon how the Indian players are able to put up a good total on the board as i am expecting dew according to the reports and it will be difficult to bowl especially spinners and if they are not able to score a huge total then it will be a close match.
Fair enough, if we are considering only Win percentage. I was looking at 100+ match captaincy and trophy as well. btw if we are look at Kohli captaincy (original discussion of captaincy in short format) in the IPL then he doesn't deserve the captaincy in the T-20 format for simple reason, He sucks in IPL.
It is fact that Kohli suck as a captain in the T20 format and it is evident in the IPL for a long time, even with some huge batsman in their ranks they were not able to win most of the times and in Test i consider him as the best captain and even though he is a failure as a captain in T20 he performs really well, i consider Dhoni as the best T20 and ODI captain and Kohli as the best Test captain India ever had.
