IND vs SL: Watch - Dasun Shanaka Traps Dangerous Looking Shubman Gill In 1st ODI Against India

Sri Lankan Cricket Team had won the toss and elected to field first at Guwahati in the 1st ODI against India. The island nation handed the ODI cap to the left-arm speedster Dilshan Madushanka and surprisingly included Dunith Wellage as they dropped Maheesh Theekshana.

Skipper Rohit Sharma & Shubman Gill got off to a rollicking start as the Men in Blue scored 75 runs in the power-play overs. It looked as if the duo was toying with the bowlers as there was hardly anything in it for the bowlers. The skipper Rohit Sharma was looking in sublime touch.

Dasun Shanaka Takes Massive Wicket of Shubman Gill

At the end of 19 overs, India’s score was 137 for the loss of no wickets where Shubman Gill’s score was 65 runs in 57 balls whereas Rohit Sharma was on 71 runs in 57 balls. Skipper Dasun Shanaka was going to bowl the 20th over, on the 4th ball of the over Shanaka bowled a good length of delivery to Shubman Gill and trapped him where Umpire straight-away gave it out. Shubman scored 70 runs in 60 balls where he would rue the fact that he missed out on a century. India’s  score at that time was 143-1.

Crucial Phase for Sri Lanka

The island nation would be well aware of the fact that they are in for a huge run chase. They need to keep on picking wickets as India has got a lot of fire-power. Skipper Shanaka should use Wanindu Hasaranga carefully as his overs would be quite decisive.

All eyes would be on the former skipper Virat Kohli to make sure that India posts a formidable total. There are chances that the management would promoted Hardik Pandya up the order to up the ante as the hosts would be aiming a total in excess of 350 as later dew would come into the action.
