India won the toss and elected to field first. Ashwin opened it for India and got two wickets in the very first over. Sri Lanka were bowled out for mere 82 runs, setting a target of 83 for India to win the match and the series. This is Sri Lanka’s lowest total in their T20 history. Twitter saw them being trolled. Here are some of the best tweets on the innings.
Sri Lankan innings will last shorter than the time it will take to write their player’s name. #INDvSL

When you want to risk a run with the ball near Ravindra Jadeja, follow 2 rules.
1. Never attempt.
2. Never ever ever.#INDvSL— Nikhil (@CricCrazyNIKS) February 14, 2016

As Sid Monga wrote in his piece, Jadeja is a fielder first, bowler second, batsman last. #IndvSL
