Jadega who was playing this match after a long period of time following his injury, celebrated the wicket with a dance move popularised by Allu Arjun from the ‘Srivalli’ song in the movie Pushpa.

Sri Lanka reached the 50-run mark in the tenth over on Thursday but lost two more wickets. Charith Asalanka did hit a fifty for the visitors but the asking rate was too much to ask for as Sri Lanka lost momentum.
Sri Lanka needed 102 runs in the last four overs and the visitors were completely outplayed in the first T20I as they lost the match by a considerable margin.
