What an absolutely dominant performance by India in the last one-day international and throughout the series! This undefeated 166 was remarkable even by his lofty standards and it was amazing to see Virat Kohli back to his best in white-ball cricket. Shubman Gill’s composure and attractive strokeplay continue to be a source of admiration.
Virat Kohli came into the contest and lit up the dead rubber with an incredible 166 not out. This was his third century in four innings, and it helped India destroy a hapless Sri Lanka with a record 317-run triumph in the third ODI here on Sunday to sweep the series.
Before Kohli (166 not out off 110) powered India to a daunting 390 for five with his 74th international hundred and 46th in the 50-over format, Skipper Rohit Sharma (42 off 49) and Shubman Gill (116 off 97) exchanged a smooth 95-run opening stand.
Mohammad Siraj’s high-quality quick bowling was enough to take down Sri Lanka, and he did it within the first ten overs of the match. This effectively ended the match and eliminated the competition. The gap between the two teams was highlighted by the fact that Sri Lanka was bowled out for a paltry 73 runs in 22 overs.
