Indian opeenr and hard-hitter Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a healthy 42 by fast-bowler Dushmantha Chameera after being caught by himself, in the second of the three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association Stadium in Ranchi on Friday. Currently, India are 127 for the loss of two wickets in 14 overs, with Ajinkya Rahane on 25 and Suresh Raina on three. Earlier, Sri Lankan skipper Dinesh Chandimal won the toss and elected to bowl first, as he made a change in the form of Tilakaratne Dilshan, who comes in for Niroshan Dickwella, while Indian skipper MS Dhoni moved in with an unchanged squad from the opening T20I loss at Pune. LIVE CRICKET SCORECARD: India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I at Ranchi

MS Dhoni leads India to face Sri Lanka in the second Twenty20 International (T20I) at his hometown Ranchi on Friday. The defeat in the first game against a young and inexperienced Sri Lankan side came as a shocker but the Men in Blue (well, Sri Lanka are, technically speaking, Men in Blue as well) remain positive, drawing confidence from their 3-0 win against Australia as they marched to the No. 1 ranking in this format. Meanwhile, Dinesh Chandimal’s young Lankans will hope to continue building on the momentum they got at Pune. It will not be easy but we have seen that the game is full of surprises.
