India clinched yet another series on home soil with a comprehensive seven-wicket victory in the second T20I against Sri Lanka, and will be eyeing a third consecutive 3-0 sweep under Rohit Sharma's leadership when they take on Dasun Shanaka's men in the third and final match of the series.

The Men in Blue had entered the second T20I as the strong favourites after a 62-run win in the opening game in Lucknow, and skipper Rohit this time opted to field. Thanks to vital contributions from Pathum Nissanka (75) and skipper Shanaka (47 not out), the Lankans were able to post a competitive 183/5 on the board, with a staggering 80 runs coming in the last five overs.

Though they were off to a positive start after getting rid of Rohit cheaply, with Ishan Kishan following him soon after, the game slipped out of their hands once Shreyas Iyer (74 not out) was able to steady the hosts in the middle overs while forging a valuable stand with Sanju Samson (39). Ravindra Jadeja walked in after Samson's dismissal and teed off right away, his 18-ball 45 not out helping finish things off for the hosts with 17 balls to spare.

India, who had retained the same XI for the second game, might think about making some changes and give an opportunity to some of the benchwarmers for the third and final game of the series. Sri Lanka, who had lost the T20I series in Australia 4-1 before arriving here, will hope to end the series on a positive note before shifting their focus to the Tests.

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
