Pune: Openers Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul struck breezy half centuries before the bowlers delivered in style to help India to a massive 78-run victory over Sri Lanka and a 2-0 sweep of the three-match bilateral T20 series at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Ghahunje here on Friday.
India had built upon a brilliant start of 97 provided by Dhawan, who ran into well-needed form, and Rahul to post an imposing 201 for six despite a middle-over slump.
