Mycroft: "@Sherlock , Before writing off Sanju Samson, please consider number of chances Pant got. And yes amount of cricket India is playing, we will always need additional wicket keepers. I think Sanju is still in the race with Ishan Kishan."
Harsha Bhogle: We are in the 32nd over of the game. 7 boundaries so far. These pitches aren't good for the game.

MD: "A positive thing India can take is Rahul Chahar's regular wickets and economy."
sherlock: "I think this is it for Sanju Samson. He might not get a game in international cricket for a long time, he has got enough opportunities but he failed to make his mark."
Najib Sadat Nabil: "In series between subcontinental countries, spinners always play a vital role.. Hasaranga looked more matured in this series than other spinners."
Allen: "One observation is that among the recent bunch of SL captains, Dasun seems more vocal and proactive which are good signs for a struggling team trying to bounce back."
Mancini: "Heartening to see Wanindu doing so well on his birthday. He's been a ray of hope and joy for us here at SL in the recent past when our team hasn't been able to do so well."
Rahul: "India's lowest T20I score is 74 against Australia in Melbourne in 2008. Just saying."
Krishna: After seeing the pitch behaviour yesterday, India should have chosen bowling first. -- It is not the same pitch, a fresh one is being used for today's game.
Abinash Das: Since the experienced campaigner is dismissed the batting responsibility now completely lies on the shoulders of the youngsters. It's definitely a pressure situation but the pressure is a privilege as per the great Djokovic. It's in pressure conditions like this, the real strength of mind is tested.
Saravanan: Why didn't India do anything to strengthen their batting? Clearly that was their weak link yesterday -- All the batting options available are playing, the rest are in isolation.
Mustafa Moudi: SL has the chance to win a T20I series today. If they does so, it would be only their 2nd T20I win in their last 10 series. Their only other T20I series win was against Pakistan in Pakistan!!
S Srihari: "I think Sai Kishore's inclusion will, sort of, solve a little bit of batting issues. His bowling definitely helps with the height he is. Stump-to-stump bowling too."
