Suryakumar leads India to 213-7 in T20 opener against Sri Lanka
Suryakumar, 33, hammered 58 off 26 balls at Kandy's Pallekele in his first match as T20 skipper with India beginning a new era in the format after its T20 World Cup triumph last month.
Suryakumar, who was picked as leader ahead of Hardik Pandya -- Rohit Sharma's deputy in the World Cup -- put on a key stand of 76 with wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who smashed 49.
Fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana took four wickets, including Suryakumar and Pant, but could not stop India from crossing 200 after a sloppy fielding effort by the home team.
