Sri Lankans won the
toss and elected to field against India at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad. Indians did one change in their team line up.
Ravindra Jadeja has replaced by Dhawal
Kulkarni.
Once again India took wicket in first over today. This is
the 13th time in this decade or so when Sri Lankans lost their 1st
wicket in 1st over against India. Mahela Jayawardena played awesome inns of 100+ today. In this
match he achieved the feat of 12000 ODI runs. He is the only 5th man to do so.
He batted till 40+ over. He ran out of partners during his today’s brilliant
inns. Only Dilshan played a handful inn once they were 7/2 in 2 over. Once he
got out entire team just followed him until Mahela did small partnership with
tail Enders.
However the score they reached was 242/10. For India Umesh Yadav,
Akshar Patel, Dhawal Kulkarni& Ravichandran Ashwintakes 4, 3 & 1
wickets respectively.
For India, It was once again the openers who did an
excellent job. However Ajinkya Rahane didn’t capitalize the good start &
got out on 31. Shikhar Dhawan was the unluckiest player to get out on 91.
Actually he was NOT OUT. It was bad umpiring. Virat Kohli came on no 4 once again & scored a 50 as
well completed his 6000 runs. Now he is holding the world record of fastest
6000 runs in world cricket. He broke the world record of Sir Viv Richards &
India won the match convincingly by a good margin of 7 wickets & 5 over to
spare.
Today Anushka Sharma (India actress) was at stadium &
looks happy when kohli completes another 50. The best part when Virat
celebrates his 50 in a special way towards where Anushka had set.
The Indian team for rest of the series that is 2 matches
would be selected tomorrow.
