Yuzvendra Chahal's comeback 

Under the leadership of Shikhar Dhawan, India’s wrist-spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav & Yuzvendra Chahal, also known as Kul-Cha, made comeback in international cricket after 749 days in the first ODI. That was the first time that both featured in India’s playing XI since the group stage match against England in the 2019 World Cup. Chahal, who was going through a rough patch in the IPL 2021 where he could only pick four wickets in seven games, has slowly picked up form. In the last match, he also picked two wickets of Avishka Fernando and Dasun Shanaka. In the second ODI, the Sri Lankan side was looking pretty good with a score of 77-0 till the 14th over before Shikhar Dhawan decided to hand the ball over to Chahal. And as expected, the leggy did not fail to impress, picking up two wickets in two balls. 

The cricketing fraternity also came out to show some love and pour their wishes to Yuzvendra Chahal on his 31st birthday.
