Mathews’ fighting century and his 124run partnership with Thirimanne go in vain for Sri Lanka; Bumrah proves a tough customer again
A few days ago, while awe lubricated his voice, Virat Kohli said: “Rohit Sharma is the best oneday player.” The Indian skipper’s words found further validation as Rohit etched his fth hundred in the current World Cup and it also proved to be a third ton on the trot.
The vice captain’s rapturous knock (103, 94b, 14x4, 2x6) and the synergy he found from fellow centurion K.L. Rahul (111, 118b, 11x4, 1x6) deflated Sri Lanka as India clinically won its World Cup fixture at Headingley here by seven wickets.
Afternoon’s anthem
On a Saturday that dawned with a drizzle and subse quently embraced sunshine, the chants of “Rohit, Rohit” turned out to be the after noon’s anthem while a sea of blue with flecks of orange, exulted. Pursuing Sri Lanka’s 264 for seven that was mounted upon a splendid 113 (128b, 10x4, 2x6) by Angelo Mathews, Kohli’s men replied with 265 for three in 43.3 overs.
