🏏India tour of Sri Lanka: 1st ODI at Colombo @ 2:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 35

IND needs 160 runs in 238 balls to win

15th fifty-plus partnership in 24 innings between Rohit Sharma & Shubman Gill, five of which are over 100.

bkrip: "If you had to nit pick IND batting so far, Gill can be a little bit proactive in rotating strike and make sure Rohit faces as many balls during the PP1"

suraj: "Feeling sad and sorry for myself and all Sri Lankan fans. What a team we used to have: Sanga, Murali, Mahela, Dilshan, Vass, Jayasuriya. Even Tharanga was superb in ODIs. I'm only 25, so I can't comment on previous generations, but it's disheartening to see the decline of Sri Lankan cricket. "

Shubham: "@suraj you forgot malingaaaaaa. How can you..."

IND continues to dominate, 74-0 in 11 overs!

Loganathan N: "The problem is Sanga and Mahela stayed a bit too long, and the next generation of Chandimal and others didn't show their full potential. That created a void. "

Robin: "@ Suraj. don't see it as a decline. see it as transition. the experiences this team is gaining will help them a lot. every team go through bad phase. As long as a good structure is in place Sri Lanka will get back Sanga caliber players"

Dinusha: "@Suraj : While I agree with you and share the same pain, I still feel we are bit too hard on these players. If you look at most of the SL players, there are in their mid 20s even though we felt like they have been playing for a while. I think going forward it could only get better."
