The India vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI 2024 ended in a thrilling tie on the back of Sri Lanka's inspirational bowling effort on Friday, August 2. Chasing 231 to win, India got off to a great start with Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma's opening partnership yielding 75 runs. The Indian captain scored 58 runs off 47 balls but India later went on to lose wickets in a heap. A steady 57-run stand followed between KL Rahul and Axar Patel but those two batters then were sent back to the pavilion in quick time. Eventually, it was Shivam Dube who helped the Men in Blue get close to the win with some meaty blows. He was dismissed after Charith Asalanka opted for a review. With one run needed to win, Asalanka trapped Arshdeep Singh lbw to ensure the game ended in a tie. For Sri Lanka, Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga took three wickets each, while Dunith Wellalage scalped two. Fans Chant ‘Kohli Ko Bowling Do’ During IND vs SL 1st ODI 2024 at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium, Video Goes Viral.
