Hardik Pandya sucks major ass but him singing along the Sri Lanka national anthem's chorus is very sweet.

Prithvi Shaw got out on duck in India vs Sri Lanka first T20I
Explosive opener Prithvi Shaw failed a massive failure in the first T20I game against Sri Lanka. Prithvi Shaw came to bat after performing sensationally in the ODI series. However, he failed to continue his ODI form in the first T20I match. Shaw got dismissed on the very first ball of his T20I debut innings.
Also, he became the first Indian to get out on the first T20I ball of the match and second Indian after KL Rahul to get out on duck in the first ball of debut innings.
In the meantime, Shikhar Dhawan and Sanju Samson batted beautifully and provided a good start to the team. Sanju Samson got out on 27 and later Shikhar Dhawan played a 46 runs knock. Suryakumar Yadav was looking in great touch too, he scored a half-century.
