#2 Partnership between Iyer and Dhawan

Chasing 216 to win, India lost skipper Rohit Sharma in the 4th over but Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer turned the game on its head with a majestic 135-run partnership.
Both Dhawan and Iyer took on Sri Lanka's bowlers right from the outset and made sure that India cruised to a paltry target of 216 in 32.1 overs.
Iyer, playing his third ODI, was very impressive with his pull shots and strokes through the covers as he scored back-to-back fifties against Sri Lanka in the three-match series.
On the other hand, Dhawan, who played a supportive role for Iyer in the beginning, shifted gears and brought up his 12th ODI ton and 4th against Sri Lanka to lead India to a 2-1 series win.
