Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanka shines bright in the improbable run chase of 374. Though the match’s result was decided after SL’s early wickets, Dasun Shanaka continued to fight back and scored a well-crafted century. An interesting incident happened when Dasun Shanaka was on 98. There are two more balls left in the innings. Shami is bowling the last over and mankaded Shanaka who was out of the crease.
According to the rules, Shanaka was out and as the on-field umpire was referring it to the third umpire, Rohit Sharma withdrew the appeal. At the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma recalled what has happened.
“The way he batted was brilliant and he cannot get out like that. Hats off to him, he played really well,” he said.
The second ODI between India vs Sri Lanka will happen in Kolkota.
