The damage is done and Sri Lanka should not think much about what happened. This is a really good pitch to bat on if the batters hold themselves down. The bowlers were taken to the cleaners. The scorecard speaks loudly. Sri Lanka were sloppy in the field. They dropped Kohli twice on 52 and 81 and it turned out to be very costly. Sri Lanka did well to end the innings well. They will be happy with that but the damage was done well earlier. Now then, someone has to anchor for the Lankans to sniff near the target. A mammoth chase. Can Sri Lanka get close?
Virat Kohli the man of the moment is up for a chat. He says he was mentally fresh after the break. Adds he was excited for the home season to start and the openers gave a good platform for others to follow. Shares that luck plays a big part and it went his way today. Reckons they have got 20-25 runs extra and he is happy with the score. Feels the due will be a big factor and their bowlers will get good practice to play in these tough conditions. Tells he is in his prime shape.
Massive score by India! Mission ODI World Cup is in full flow and the batters have turned up big! What a performance. It was a belter of a pitch and India made the most of it. Starting with Gill and Sharma wasting no time up front. Both went bang, bang and scored respective fifties. Gill fell first then the skipper followed. The openers scored at a quick rate and laid the platform for others. It was then the poster boy of India to notch his 73rd international hundred. He allowed the likes of Iyer and Rahul to launch but once they failed, Kohli took the baton in his hands and notch a big ton. King Kohli maneuvered his innings well and helped India get over 370.
