Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @cricketmax87   India returned to international cricket after a four-month gap and looked anything but rusty as they dominated Sri Lanka in a high-scoring ODI encounter. Powered by another masterclass from Virat Kohli and an explosive knock from Virender Sehwag, India piled up a commanding total of 314 runs. Kohli continued his extraordinary run in 2012 with his third consecutive ODI century and fourth hundred in five innings, establishing himself as one of the finest one-day batsmen of his era. At the other end, Sehwag shook off early jitters to smash a brutal 96 off 97 balls, narrowly missing a well-deserved century. The pair added a crucial 173-run second-wicket partnership that laid the foundation for India’s massive total. After a brief middle-order wobble, Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni finished strongly, adding 79 runs in just nine overs, with Dhoni’s trademark helicopter shots pushing India comfortably beyond the 300-run mark. In reply, Sri Lanka fought hard through Kumar Sangakkara, who struck a magnificent 133 — his third century in four international matches. Late fireworks from Thisara Perera (44 off 28 balls) briefly threatened India, but disciplined bowling led by Irfan Pathan, supported by Zaheer Khan and R Ashwin, ensured India held their nerve. Despite Sri Lanka reaching 293, India’s all-round performance — strong batting, improved bowling, and key moments in the field — sealed a memorable victory. A complete breakdown of a classic India vs Sri Lanka ODI featuring centuries, partnerships, dropped chances, and game-changing spells. #indvssl #cricketmax #highlights #viratkohli #thriller
