At present, the first ODI match is being played between India and Sri Lanka at the R. Premadasa Cricket Stadium in Colombo. In this match, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bowl first. India has been continuously putting pressure on Sri Lanka since the beginning.

Let us tell you, Sri Lanka did not have a good start in this match and they lost their first wicket at just seven runs. After this, their second wicket fell at 46 runs but the team had lost its 5 wickets at 101 runs. After the fall of 5 wickets, there was a partnership of 41 runs for the sixth wicket between Janith Liyanage and Dunith Wellalage. However, as soon as these two brought their team back into the match, Janith Liyanage was also out.

Liyanage’s wicket was taken by Akshar Patel in this match. The Sri Lankan player wanted to play an aggressive shot by moving forward on Akshar Patel’s ball but the ball turned at the right time after which Rohit Sharma caught the ball very well in the slip. Immediately after this, the Indian team appealed for a catch and the field umpire also declared Janith out.

The most surprising thing was that the Sri Lankan player did not ask for DRS after this and he quietly returned to the pavilion. The Sri Lankan team was also very surprised to see this.

Janith Liyanage was not out

When the replay was seen, it was found that the ball did not touch Janith Liyanage’s bat. He was completely not out. Janith Liyanage would be very disappointed that he should have asked for DRS.

Janith Liyanage was given not out, but he himself walked off.

Talking about the match, India is in a very good position so far. However, if they want to win this match, then the team will have to get Sri Lanka all out as soon as possible and then achieve the given target easily. The best thing about the Indian team is that it is in very good form at the moment.
