Team India also got off to a strong start against the hosts, Sri Lanka, after badly defeating the Pakistan team a day earlier. After winning the toss and batting first, captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got off to a great start again. The 20-year-old Sri Lankan bowler wreaked havoc as they added 80 runs together and were on their way to their second consecutive century partnership.
Three wickets in a row
The 20-year-old Dunith Velalge trapped not one or two but three experienced batsmen with his bowling. The brilliant start of the Indian team was stopped in one fell swoop. First Shubman Gill was bowled for 19 runs. After this Shanaka caught Virat Kohli who scored a century against Pakistan in the last match. Velalge’s bowling was excellent against Team India captain Rohit Sharma, who was clean bowled on 53 and forced to return.
