India has defeated Sri Lanka by 67 runs in the first One Day Internationals at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, Assam. Now India has taken a lead of 1-0 in the three-match ODI series. From Virat Kohli’s 73rd century to Shami mankading Sri Lanka’s last man standing, India vs Sri Lanka first ODI was full drama, hence we bring to you top-5 moments from the battle.

Virat got lucky twice before his 45th ODI century

Virat Kohli broke Ricky Ponting’s 72 century record in international cricket last night. But before that he got lucky twice. Virat Kohli got 2 lives before the century in the first innings. He played an inning of 113 runs in 87 balls. In the 37th over, Kohli got saved after his first catch out on the ball of Kasun Rajitha. On the short off length ball, Virat went ahead and tried to play the shot, but the ball took the outer edge of the bat and went into the hands of wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis. Mendis dived to take the catch, but the ball fell from his hands to the ground. Virat was batting on 52 runs at this time.

For his stupendous knock of 113 off 87 deliveries, @imVkohli is adjudged Player of the Match as #TeamIndia beat Sri Lanka by 67 runs.

Kohli played an inside out shot on the last ball of Rajitha’s over. The ball went up in the air, where Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka dropped his catch. Kohli was batting at 81 at that time. In this way, 2 catches were missed before his century. Kohli was finally dismissed after scoring 113 runs. He was given the Player of the Match award for his innings of 113 of 87 balls.

Shami’s Mankading, Rohit’s disapproval

The moment of getting Shanaka out of Mankading is also much talked about. The reason for this is also Rohit’s decision. In the 50th over of the second innings, Shami dismissed Sri Lanka’s Dasun Shanaka from Mankading. On Shami’s appeal, the umpire gave Shanaka out, but Rohit Sharma did not take the wicket after withdrawing the appeal. Shanaka was batting on 98 at that point.

For the unversed, the International Cricket Council (ICC) recently added Mankading to the list of legal run outs. Rohit even talked about it during the post-match presentation.
