IND vs SL 2022-23: India is taking the attack to Sri Lanka on Sunday in the final Thiruvananthapuram ODI. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill slammed centuries, while supporters applauded them.
Team India is in dominant form, taking the attack to Sri Lanka in the third and final One-Day International (ODI) at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. Batting first, the hosts are off to a dominant start despite the slow pitch. Moreover, opener Shubman Gill outsmarted the Lankan bowlers by slamming his second ODI century and his first at home, which arrived off 11 balls, including 11 fours and a couple of sixes, and had a strike rate of around 120.00. Eventually, he was dismissed in the 34th over after being cleaned up by Kasun Rajitha.
Well played hopefully goes on to make a 💯 batting at the other end looking Solid ! But concern for me half empty stadium ? Is one day cricket dying ?
