When it comes to India playing Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium, the immediate thing that comes to mind is the night of April 2, 2011, when the Men in Blue beat Lanka in a memorable final to clinch their second ODI World Cup trophy. On Tuesday, when India take on familiar rivals Sri Lanka in the opening T20I of a three-match series, this historic venue, which is hosting a T20I after three years, will see another special occasion. The match, set to be witnessed by a near-capacity crowd, will mark the start of a new era in T20 cricket for India.
