India have wrapped up the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka 2-0 after their four-wicket win in the second game on Thursday. After Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj picked three wickets each to bundle out Sri Lanka for 215, the visitors' bowlers reduced India to 86-4. But KL Rahul kept his calm and batted sensibly under pressure to make an unbeaten 64 off 103 balls, and struck a crucial 75-run partnership with Hardik Pandya to take India over the line with 40 balls to spare, giving the hosts' an unassailable 2-0 series lead. After the win, India batsmen Virat Kohli and Ishan Kishan were seen grooving to the music played at the iconic stadium.
