India's top-order batting was the standout in the first ODI on Tuesday. The hosts adopted the positive approach in the series opener from the word go. Following a groundbreaking 143-run opening partnership in just 19.4 overs between skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, another impactful inning in the middle appeared to be all that was needed to keep the momentum going. A guarded innings from former captain Virat Kohli with 113 off 87, which included 12 fours and a six, was an impromptu exhibition of batting as required at that instant, brought about by one of the greats of the sport. Thanks to the brilliant knocks by Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli that abled India to erect a humongous total of 373 runs in 50 overs for visitors to chase.

Sri Lanka managed to cross the 300 mark only due to an unbeaten hundred by the skipper Dasun Shanaka and 72 run knock by opener Pathum Nissanka. However, Sri Lanka never looked into the chase as the team failed to hike the required run rate in the available 50 overs. Mohammed Siraj has been valuable for team India with the new ball as he once again pulled off early two wickets to break the back of opponents. Speedster Umran Malik complemented Siraj from the other side to get rid of three other batters, with Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal and Hardik Pandya taking one wicket apiece. With the second ODI a must-win for Sri Lanka, the Dasun Shanaka-led side will be eager to put their best foot forward in the second ODI on Thursday.
