Continuing their preparations for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka, Team India played their second intra-squad warm-up match in Colombo on Wednesday. Like the previous match, captain Shikhar Dhawan and vice-captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar led the two teams in a T20 encounter.

YouTube channel Newswire shared a few glimpses of the first innings of the game. In the video, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's team can be seen batting first, with runs coming from openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devdutt Padikkal and one-down batsman Suryakumar Yadav.

From the bowling side, the Chahar brothers - Deepak and Rahul - Navdeep Saini and Sandeep Warrier are also seen in action. Saini also uncorked a stunning rising delivery that took off the edge of Padikkal's bat before heading straight to the wicketkeeper.

Fans can also catch a glimpse of the scoreboard in the video, which provides an insight into the playing XIs of the two teams. This is something that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) hasn't announced formally.

From the looks of it, Shikhar Dhawan is leading the team with Prithvi Shaw, Manish Pandey, Nitish Rana, Krunal Pandya, Krishnappa Gowtham, Deepak Chahar, Rahul Chahar, Saini, Sandeep Warrier and Simarjeet Singh, in that order of batting.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar's team is made up of Padikkal, Gaikwad, Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Chetan Sakariya, Ishan Porel and R Sai Kishore.

It remains to be seen if the Indian team management will reveal the result of the game later in the day. The previous clash between the two sides was won by Bhuvneshwar Kumar's team as they chased the target within 17 overs. Pandey and Yadav were the top scorers during that game.
