India vs Sri Lanka Highlights, 3rd T20I: Suryakumar Yadav Shines As India Beat Sri Lanka In Super Over, Sweep Series 3-0

We are back for the Super Over, folks! Kusal Perera and Kusal Mendis walk out to bat for Sri Lanka. And it will be Washington Sundar to bowl those crucial 6 deliveries for India.

WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? THE MATCH HAS BEEN TIED AND A SUPER OVER WILL FOLLOW NOW. Sri Lanka will be absolutely gutted as around the 15th over, they were sitting right in the driver's seat. They needed 9 off the last 12 balls but they just couldn't cross the line in the end. But again, their middle order fell like a house of cards for the third straight time in the same series. And of course, India fought bravely, until the last drop of blood. And what a spectacular debut series is Suryakumar Yadav having as the skipper! Strengthening the saying that cricket is a funny old game, full of uncertainties.

SUPER OVER TIME! Not the best of throws from the deep and Maheesh Theekshana makes it in! More drama! SKY bowls it fuller and quicker, on off, Chamindu Wickramasinghe cross bats this one to the right of long on along the ground. The batters have to cross for the second and the throw from long on skids off the turf and SKY fails to collect it. Theekshana with a dive is in and thankfully for India, the throw is backed up, keeping it down to two to take the game to a Super Over.

1 ball remaining, 3 runs to win for Sri Lanka. Are we in for a super over? The way this game has twisted and turned, anything is a possibility now. All three results are possible at this point.

Oh, what happened there? SKY pushes it through, full and on middle, Chamindu Wickramasinghe slaps it down to the left of long off and the batters decide to take the second run. The throw comes in from the deep and Maheesh Theekshana is nowhere in the frame at the bowling end. SKY collects it over his head and can affect an easy run out at the bowling end but he is not aware of the situation and fires it to the batting end where Chamindu Wickramasinghe is in by then.

Tap and run! Asitha Fernando brings Chamindu Wickramasinghe on strike. Speared in, short and on middle, Asitha Fernando drops it with soft hands on the leg side and scampers across for one.

Who walks in next? Asitha Fernando is in at number 10. Sri Lanka need 6 off the last 3 deliveries now.

OUT CAUGHT BEHIND! Strangled down leg and this is a sharp catch by Sanju Samson! Two in two for Suryakumar Yadav as Sri Lanka continues to wilt under pressure. They have now lost their last 7 wickets for 26 runs. Fired in down leg by SKY, flat and short, Maheesh Theekshana goes for the sweep to get it behind square on the leg side but misses. There is a noise as Sanju Samson takes it to his left.  The umpire is unmoved and India take the review. The UltraEdge shows that there is glove involved. What a time to get it right! 6 needed off 3 now.

Is it off the pad, or off the bat? The decision for caught behind is sent upstairs now. A slight murmur when the ball passes off the glove and Theekshana is a goner. OUT!

Sri Lanka are imploding and collapsing, yet again! The Sri Lankan head coach Sanath Jayasuriya is sitting with a blank look on his face as he too, cannot believe what's happening. Maheesh Theekshana is the new batter in at number 9.

OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Would you believe it? Kamindu Mendis could not have picked out the man in the deep any better. Suryakumar Yadav has a sheepish look on his face as it was there for Mendis to put away. A rank long hop by Suryakumar Yadav, on off, Kamindu Mendis brings out the reverse sweep but gets this one low on the bat. Spoons a simple catch to deep backward point where Rinku Singh takes an easy catch. Sri Lanka under pressure. 6 needed off 4 now.

Suryakumar Yadav starts the over well! SKY drops it short and gets it to spin away, short and on off, Kamindu Mendis gives himself too much room to go through the off side and fails to get any bat on it as the ball spins away.

Phew! This is going down to the wire now! Another gamble that has done wonders for India. Sri Lanka need 6 from the last over. Chamindu Wickramasinghe is the new batter in at number 8. Also, India has been penalised for not starting the final over on time. A maximum of 4 fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle. Initially it was Siraj to bowl the last, but just when we thought we are out of surprises, in comes Suryakumar Yadav himself to bowl the final over.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! More drama! Ramesh Mendis goes for the glory shot but it does not come off for him. Two in the over for Rinku Singh. India have somehow managed to take the game to the last over with  Sri Lanka requiring 6 runs from 6 balls. Rinku drops it short and on middle, there to be put away. Ramesh Mendis goes on the back foot to pull it over deep mid-wicket. Connects well but it is enough to clear the man in the deep. Shubman Gill runs to his left near the fence and balances himself well to take the catch.

Rinku pushes it through, short and on middle, Ramesh Mendis tucks it to mid-wicket. Kamindu Mendis sets off for the run before he gets sent back by his partner. 6 needed off 7 now.

Flatter and shorter, on off, Ramesh Mendis goes the switch hit and tries to flat bat this one in front of square on the off side. Gets it high on the ball and it rolls wide of cover for two.

Rinku slants this one in, on a nagging length, on middle and leg, Kamindu goes back in his crease and whips it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

The gamble has worked! Rinku Singh removes the well-settled Kusal Perera! 9 needed off 11 balls now. Kamindu Mendis is in at number 7.

OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Suryakumar Yadav with that smile on his face. Rinku Singh bowls it quicker and flattens his trajectory this time around. Lands it short and drifts it on the leg stump line. Kusal Perera gets over-ambitious to take on the part-timer and goes for a pull shot but he ends up top-edging it over the mid on region. Rinku Singh moves to his left and settles underneath it, takes a safe catch. Kusal Perera perishes it on 46 (34).

Darted in from around the wicket, full and angling in, Kusal Perera switches his stance for the reverse but misses and wears it on the front pad.
