IND vs SL

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.

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.

Umran Malik bowled at a speed of 156 km, broke Srinath’s record

Umran Malik bowled at a speed of 156 km per hour in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. Umran Malik hit the fourth ball of the 14th over at a speed of 156 kmph and made a record.

In the 1999 World Cup, Javagal Srinath bowled at a speed of 154.5 kmph.

Malik holds the record for the fastest delivery by an Indian in international cricket. He broke his own record. Earlier, in the last T20 series against Sri Lanka, Umran bowled at a speed of 155 kmph. Umran’s name also holds the record of bowling at a speed of 157 km in IPL. Umran Malik took 3 wickets for 57 runs in the match and is yet to make his Test debut for India.

Virat’s fastest 12,500 runs

Virat played an inning of 113 runs on 87 balls against Sri Lanka. In this innings, he hit 12 fours and a six. With this innings, he also completed 12,584 runs in 257 innings in ODI.

After him, Deepak Chahar took 8 wickets, Jaspreet Bumrah took 5 wickets and Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 3 wickets. Siraj has taken 26 wickets in overall 17 ODIs.

The Gujarat Titans were set to chase a target of 207 by the Chennai Super Kings. The Gujarat Titans were under pressure from the start to score at above 10 an over. The pitch offered even pace and bounce and Gujarat Titans batsmen failed to make a match of it.

Deepak Chahal rattled the Gujarat Titans plans right at the start of the innings. Chahar sent back openers Wriddhiman Saha and Shubhman Gill with only 34 runs on the board. Gujarat Titans skipper was dismissed as he was trapped lbw for 8 runs (5 balls). Gill opted for a review which showed that he did not have any clue about the trajectory and line of the ball as well as his own position in front of the stumps.

But for Sai Sudarshan there was no contribution which could be mentioned. Tushar Deshpande (2/21), Mustafizur Rahman (2/30) and Chahar (2/28) did the job for CSK with the ball.
