Mahi shot by blowing a six
During this innings, Virat Kohli reminded Mahendra Singh Dhoni. A huge six of 97 meters was hit on the third ball of the 44th over of the match. The bowler in front was Kasun Rajitha. Now many videos of this amazing hit are going viral. In the video, after hitting a six, Kohli told fellow batsman Shreyas Iyer, ‘Mahi shot’. Talking about the match, thanks to the centuries of Virat and Shubman Gill, India scored a huge score of 390 runs for five wickets in the stipulated 50 overs.
Siraj shines in bowling
Chasing a huge target, Indian pacer Mohammad Siraj wreaked havoc on the visiting team. Siraj, who has been bowling brilliantly in the opening powerplay for the last several matches, once again bowled the best spell of his career in the first powerplay and took four wickets in his first five overs. After losing five wickets for 39 runs in ten overs, the Sri Lankan team was completely out of the match. Apart from Siraj, Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav also took two wickets each, due to which the Sri Lankan team was all out for 73 runs in 22 overs.
