Shubman Gill shrugged off a finger injury and made a breezy 44, Yashasvi Jaiswal an authoritative fifty and Mohammed Siraj a fun-filled 32 not out as India chased down 207 to beat Sri Lanka Cricket XI (SLC XI) in their tour match in Colombo.
He opened the batting after the SLC XI set the Indians a target of 207 and looked in good form, scoring 44 runs off 54 balls with seven boundaries.
Siraj took that as his cue to go on a hitting spree, a hat-trick of sixes sealing victory.
Jaiswal and Gill put on 105 runs together at which point Jaiswal was asked to return to the pavilion and Rishabh Pant took his place.
He drove, swept and cut to pick up three boundaries in his first ten balls as SLC XI went past hundred at a run rate of 4.54.
