India 48-0 (5 ovs) vs SL 230-8 | Scorecard

Debutant Shiraz makes the mistake of giving width as Rohit slaps it through point for a four. Two balls later he takes toll of a short ball, pulling it over midwicket for another boundary and then plays the pick up shot, depositing the length ball over the leg side for a six.

He takes a single from the last ball to make it 15 runs from the over.

Left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage comes into the attack. Rohit cashes in on the short wide ball, slashing it past point for a four.

The last ball is again halfway down as Rohit cuts it uppishly getting it over point for another four as India race to 48 for no loss in five overs, with Rohit on 37 and Gill on 10.
