India outclassed Sri Lanka by seven wickets in the second Twenty20 International to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series in Indore on Tuesday.

After an impressive bowling performance, Indian batsmen KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer helped the hosts to secure a victory with 15 balls to spare. Chasing a below-par 143, opener KL Rahul laid the foundation for the hosts with a blistering knock of 45 off 32 balls.

However, India later lost both KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan in the span of 13 deliveries. Shreyas Iyer contributed with a 26-ball 34, including three boundaries and a six, following which skipper Virat Kohli played an unbeaten knock of 30 to help India register an easy win.
