India, chasing a modest 217-run target, gun down the total in the 29th over. Shikhar Dhawan smashes an unbeaten 132 - his 11th ODI hundred, while Virat Kohli remains unbeaten on 82 - his 44th fifty in the format. India take 1-0 lead in five-match series
India continue with their dominating run as they beat Sri Lanka by nine wickets in the first ODI of the five-match series. Chasing a modest 217-run target, the hosts made easy work and gunned down the total in the 29th over. Shikhar Dhawan, the visitors’ leading run-getter in the Tests, smashed an unbeaten 132 while Virat Kohli scored a fluent 82. Sri Lanka struggled to pick a wicket and the only success they had came in the fifth over when Rohit Sharma was run-out for four in the fifth over. No hosts’ bowlers made an impression and the fielding too was below-par.
