Sri Lanka's worst defeat in T20Is

Chahal was also adjudged Man of the Match for his performance. This was the second such award of his 13-match career and both have come in 2017. His first resulted in India's third-largest victory in T20Is and set the record for the best figures by an Indian bowler in the shortest format - 6 for 25.

Warne, who has mentored the side in the past, remains the Royals' third-highest wicket-taker of all time, with 58 scalps from 56 matches.

"I am very happy and excited to be back with the Rajasthan Royals, who I believe hold a very special place in my cricketing journey," Warne was quoted as saying in the Royals website. "I am overwhelmed by the love and affection showered on me by the franchise and fans of Rajasthan Royals. We have a strong, young and energetic bunch of boys, and I am looking forward to work with them."
