The replacement of WestIndies series has been started. Today
was the first match in Cuttack.
SriLanka started the match with winning the toss &
elected to bowl first in such a stadium where the team batted first lost 4 out
of 5 matches. Although India won 4 out of 5 matches there.
India started their inns with Ajinkya Rahane & Shikhar
Dhawan. They did an awesome 200+ runs partnership. Both the players completed
their respective ODI centuries. Raina came on bat at No 3. He played a good knock
of 52 runs off 34 balls. He was paying his 200th ODI for India; as
well he completes 5000 runs in ODIs. Also he completes 33rd ODI half
century today.
SriLanka started their inns well, but lost wickets on crunch
times. Varun Aron touched continuously 150+ before leaving the ground with
pain. The injury is related to his right leg, & according to latest update
he might not be available for the entire series. It’s a huge setback for this
guy as he was bowling likeAK47. It was actually Ishant’s day out today. He took
four wickets on his comeback ODI. He & umesh was awesome throughout the
match. For India, ishant- 4 wickets, Axar & Umesh took 2 wickets, &
Raina & Ashwin got one wicket each.
It was a great victory for Kohli & team.
MOM: Ajinkya Rahane.
