Riyan Parag took as many as three wickets on Saturday when India faced Sri Lanka in the first of the three-match T20I series in Pallekele.

Parag's brilliant bowling performance, which had excellent figures of 1.2-0-5-3, included two wickets off his last two balls, and with that, India completed a 43-run win over Sri Lanka to begin the Gautam Gambhir era.

After Parag's success, Gambhir seemed to be happy in the dugout. He was seen shaking hands with Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate, who have joined him as assistant coaches to form a new group of coaching staff.

In between, Sanju Samson, who did not get an opportunity, was also there. The Rajasthan Royals skipper also hugged Gambhir after the victory, and no wonder it went viral on social media in no time.
