Watch: Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli stressed as Wanindu Hasaranga bamboozles Kuldeep Yadav with a googly

Sri Lanka National Cricket Team bowler Wanindu Hasaranga is making sure that he gives his best with the ball in the ongoing first ODI against India National Cricket Team. The game between the two teams is taking place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Sri Lanka spinners have spun their web around the India batters. The hosts after putting a total of 230 runs on the board have made sure that they keep things tight with the ball. They have chipped in with wickets at regular intervals and have put the visitors under pressure.

One of the major contributors to Sri Lanka came from Wanindu Hasaranga. The former skipper of the team has landed heavy blows to the Indian team in the form of wickets in big games. He also removed Kuldeep Yadav and the ball to get his Indian counterpart out was nothing short of exceptional.

Wanindu Hasaranga bowled a googly to which Kuldeep Yadav looked to turn it into the leg-side but he ended up playing it all around. The ball straightened a touch and beat the outside edge to hit the off-stump. He made India's batter look clueless with the peach. Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, who were sitting together in the dressing room looked stressed after the dismissal.

Kuldeep Yadvav couldn't make a bigger impact with the bat as he ended up with just 2 runs off 10 balls. Wanindu Hasaranga was the key performer for his team as he ealier picked wickets of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul that broke the backbone of Indian middle order

Wanindu Hasaranga returned with the figures of 3/58 and after he took wicket of Kuldeep Yadav, Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka picked two back to back wickets and ensured that his team doesn't lose the game. He removed Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh on two successive balls as game ended in tie.

Our skipper and Wanindu Hasaranga changed the game - Dunith Wellalage

Dunith Wellalage, who scored unbeaten 67 runs and picked 2 wickets, won the Player of the Match for his heroics. The all-rounder talked about his performance, saying that he had a plan and they wanted to score 200 runs. He credited Wanindu Hasaranga and Charith Asalanka for changing the game for the team. He added:

"I came with a plan. The wicket was turning. Spinners bowled really well, I wanted to put their bowlers under pressure. Me and Janith Liyanage wanted to put some partnership.

"After that, Wanindu Hasaranga came and we had a good partnership. The wicket was slow. We planned to score 220. Wicket was little bit good during the second innings. Our skipper and Wanindu Hasaranga changed the game. We played a good match today."

The second ODI between India and Sri Lanka will be now be played on Sunday (4th August). Both the teams would be keen to win, especially after tie in first game.
