Birthday boy Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag helped India beat Sri Lanka by six wickets to level the series 1-1 in the second and final Twenty20 International in Mohali on Saturday.
After Sehwag (64 off 36 balls) gave a brilliant start to the run-chase, it was Yuvraj Sinhg (60*) who guided India to a comfortable victory.
Sehwag hit a brliant half century to give India a good start early in the innings, whereas his opening partner Gautam Gambhir was run out after sharing 58 runs partnership with his Delhi mate.
After the departure of the openers, Dhoni and Yuvraj continued the momentum and put India in comfortable position.
Earlier, India again put up an extremely sloppy fielding display to allow Sri Lanka to score a mammoth 206 for seven.
The in-form Kumar Sangakkara again tormented the hosts with a 31-ball 59 to provide the impetus to the Lankan innings as the Indians dropped as many as five catches to again give a pathetic account of their fielding abilities.
