The first match of the ongoing three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (SL vs IND) is being played today on August 2, Friday at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Let us tell you that in the match, host Sri Lanka has decided to bat first against India.
So, during the Sri Lankan innings in the match, an incident happened whose video is going viral on social media. In this video, Rohit Sharma is seen speaking a brilliant one-liner to Washington Sundar.
During the match, Sundar bowled a ball to Dunith Vellalage who was on strike. Dunith got beaten on this ball and Sundar started appealing for LBW. After this, Sundar started looking towards the captain that maybe he should take a review, then during this time Rohit looking at Sundar says, you will tell me, what are you looking at me. I will do everything for you.

Sri Lanka set a target of 231 runs for India to win
On the other hand, Sri Lankan team captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and decided to bat first, which did not prove to be right for his team. Let us tell you that in front of the excellent bowling of the Indian team, the Sri Lankan team was able to score only 230 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 50 overs.
For Sri Lanka, only opener Pathum Nissanka could score a half-century of 56 runs, while in the end Dunith Wellalage played an unbeaten innings of 67* runs and took his team to a respectable score.
If we talk about the bowling of the Indian cricket team, then Akshar Patel and Arshdeep Singh got 2-2 wickets each. Also, Mohammad Siraj, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar got 1-1 wickets each. It will be interesting to see how quickly India is able to achieve the target given by Sri Lanka?
