Match Report: Shivam Mavi shines on debut as India register a thrilling 2-run win over Sri Lanka

Debutant Shivam Mavi made a dream debut on Tuesday, but India were in a spot of bother before eking out a narrow two-run victory against Sri Lanka at the Wankhede stadium. The thrilling last-ball win in the series opener gave India a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. Sent in to bat, India recovered from a top-order collapse to post a competitive 162 for five riding on the unbeaten 68-run stand for the sixth wicket between Deepak Hooda (41 not out off 23 balls) and Axar Patel (31* off 20). In reply, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 160 in 20 overs with young Mavi taking four wickets. Mavi returned figures of 4 for 22 and was well supported by his fellow pacers Umran Malik (2 for 27) and Harshal Patel (2 for 41).

Now, yes definitely. It is just cramps. Now I have a tendency to scare people. I did not sleep well, did not drink enough water and hence the glutes were stiff. I want to put this team in difficult situations because it will help us in big games. Bilaterals we are very good at and this is how we are going to challenge ourselves. To be honest, all the young guns got us out of the situation today. The conversation was very simple, I have seen him (Mavi) bowl well in the IPL and I know what are his strengths, just back yourself and don't worry about getting hit. If the same situation is there then yes, I have worked on my swing bowling and I have worked on that (inswinger), I am bowling in nets and I like bowling with the new ball.

I try my best to practice according to the number I bat. We were discussing it as a matter of 2-3 hits and that we will get some momentum. I want to contribute in every manner. I am coming on the back of domestic cricket and know how to target the spinners.

- Man-of-the-Match: Deepak Hooda (41* off 23; 4x6s & 1x4s)

It was (our game to lose). Really disappointing with the way we finished. In Wankhede you need the batsmen to help you cross the line. I use the matchups really well and that's the reason we restricted India to 162. It is still the first game and they are a really good bunch of youngsters, they will come good.

The landing zone was a little slippery. Was waiting for six years after playing U19. Had to work hard in those six years - got injured as well. For a while it looked like my dream will remain a dream. But I kept at it. Having played the IPL, the nervousness is a little less. My idea in the powerplay is to attack and get them out. Favourite dismissal was the first one, getting him bowled.
