India vs. Sri Lanka ODI debut in 2023 Highlights: Virat Kohli struck a brilliant century to lead India to a 67-run victory against Sri Lanka on Tuesday in Guwahati in the first edition of their three-match one-day international series. Kohli scored 113 runs in 87 balls while hitting 12 fours and a six. The former captain achieved his 45th ODI century, leaving him only four runs short of Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record.

Rohit Sharma's 83 and Shubman Gill's 70 helped India, who were granted the chance to bat first, conclude their innings at 373-7.

Sri Lanka sought to respond with an unbeaten 108 from captain Dasun Shanaka and a good 72 from opener Pathum Nissanka, but their efforts were insufficient because they were unable to overtake the huge score.

After the game, he said: "Honestly, I'm rather amazed. All of the batters gave it their all as we got off to a solid start at the plate. I think we could have bowled better since all the batters had a platform. I don't want to be too harsh because the situation was hard. It was difficult to bowl at night, especially when there was dew. Early on, we bowled well, but everyone needs to be there if you want to win. You must be actively playing in order to take such chances. You won't always perform perfectly; there are some areas where the squad needs to strengthen. To attempt, the eleven members must cooperate."

As Shami enters the match to bowl the 46th over, Shanaka is in no mood to make concessions. From the first ball, two are taken. The subsequent two fights are dots, and he loses in the third one. The fifth ball is cut for a boundary after the fourth again failed to yield a run. Right now, Shanaka makes it look so simple. a single was hit by the last pitch.

Chahal made a fantastic fielding play. Although it looked like the ball was going in the goal, Chahal's hands had other ideas. The first three deliveries from Axar only produced two runs. After this, there will only be three.

Shanka eventually reaches a heroic 100, but India still triumphs handily! With 108 runs remaining in his match, Shanaka is still unbeaten. He and Kasun Rajitha had a 100-run partnership, but it wasn't enough. India defeated Sri Lanka by a score of 67 runs. In ODIs, they took a 1-0 series lead.
