Colombo: Gautam Gambhir often complains that the old thrill is no longer visible in India-Pakistan matches. The fierce rivalry that was once seen between the two teams is missing on the ground. Gambhir, who used to clash with Pakistani players in his days, will be very proud today. Will be happy with Virat Kohli’s attitude. Kohli showed embers in his eyes in his unbeaten century of 122 runs in 94 balls. Added 233 runs for the third wicket with KL Rahul (111*). Dhobi defeated the Pakistanis on the field. Stolen two runs each while running. Hit nine fours and three sixes. During this time, when the ball does not completely connect with the bat, then also show your hot attitude.
Today Virat Kohli became the fastest batsman to score 13 thousand runs in ODI, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar. While Chiku achieved this feat in 267 innings, it took 321 innings for the master-blaster. During this historic innings, Virat got badly upset in the 47th over. Virat had reached 96 runs after hitting a six over long-on on the fourth ball of Naseem Shah. Virat was in a hurry to score a century from here. He wanted to send the next bowled fuller length ball outside the boundary, but could not time it and had to be satisfied with only a single. Due to this, he became very upset and vented out his frustration by hitting his bat on the field not once or twice but several times.
India equaled its highest score in this format against Pakistan. During his 47th century, Kohli scored unbeaten 122 runs in 94 balls with the help of nine fours and three sixes. He also made an unbroken partnership of 233 runs for the third wicket with Rahul (111 not out, 106 balls, 12 fours, two sixes), playing his first competitive match after more than four months. Both of them adopted an aggressive approach in the death overs, due to which India was successful in adding 105 runs in the last 10 overs. This is Kohli’s fourth consecutive century at the KR Premadasa Stadium here.
Match going on in reserve day
Due to continuous rain on Sunday, this match had to be stopped midway and the match was played further on Monday as a reserve day. Yesterday India scored 147 runs for two wickets in 24.1 overs. Apart from scoring half-centuries, openers captain Rohit Sharma (56) and Shubman Gill (58) gave a great start to India by adding 121 runs for the first wicket. However, India lost both the wickets in consecutive overs. Rohit was caught by Faheem Ashraf off the ball of spinner Shadab Khan in the 17th over, while Shaheen was caught by Agha Salman at gill cover on the ball of Shah Afridi.
