Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli formed a captivating partnership, complemented by Shreyas Iyer’s explosive performance in the middle overs, propelling India to a commanding total of 357/8 against Sri Lanka at the renowned Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
In the highly anticipated contest, Dilshan Madhushanka and Dushmantha Chameera initiated the proceedings for Sri Lanka after winning the toss, opting to field first against the unbeaten Indian side.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma set the stage with a boundary off the very first ball of the innings, delighting the home fans and making his presence felt. However, Madhushanka perfectly executed a setup to dismiss the in-form Rohit on the following ball. Using an off-cutter, the left-arm bowler outfoxed Rohit, shattering his stumps and ending his brief stay at the crease with just 4 runs to his name.
