Colombo: How is Ishan Kishan dancing to the track to lift Dhanjaya de Silva to the ground for the first six of the Ball he faced in Odis, before cutting spinners for four of the next shipment, reflecting the mindset of IPL India Gen-Next, who believed in the ‘attack policy first’.
Supported by the knock of a captain by Shikhar Shawan, who slammed him into HalfCentury 33 (86 did not come out, 95b, 6×4, 1×6), half ball blast 33-ball by ‘Boy’s birthday’ Keeper-Bat Kishan (59 off 42 balls ) And Ball 43 Blitzkrieg by Opener Prithvi Shaw, India scored a comprehensive seven goal victory over Sri Lanka in Odi open at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday night, taking a 1-0 advantage in the three-match series.
After Kishan and Shaw fireworks, Dhawan finished work with Manish Pandey (26, 40b, 1×4, 1×6) and Yadav Suryakumar (31 did not come out, 20B, 5×4), another ODI debut for India on the day, chippany in.
Dhawan, who went past 6,000 run ODI, worth praising the way he spilled his normally aggressive approach to dropping anchor at one end, allowing Kishan and Shaw to score quickly.
Arriving in the fall of Shaw, Kishan, went on eight four and two sixes, to destroy the fifty as soon as the second by a Batsman in his first match in Odis, maintaining the momentum of Indian chasing will be a ballistic.
Use his legs and dance to the track repeatedly, Kishan, very hard on spinners.
If Shaw’s Innings is about time and placement, Kishan’s knock is about brute strength.
Continuing the burning shape, Shaw solves nine four sweetly to help Indian races to 58 in five overs in pursuit 262.
Almost as if he enjoyed ‘clean session,’ stroking the ball in a noble way.
Maybe it was moved by a blow to his head from the guard by Dushmantha Chameera, Shaw seemed to have lost his concentration, when he threw his goal, spooning the Holidays.
Previously, No 8 Chamika Karunaratne stroked unbeaten from 35 balls to help Sri Lanka finished 262 for nine after the hosts chose to look first.
Too many Sri Lankan Batsmen failed to take advantage of the Dasun Shanaka (39) Skipper, Charith Asalanka (38), Avishka Fernando (33), Minod Bhukaka (27) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (24) all guilty because they did not turn on afterwards.
Driven by conditions, India plays three spinners, and everything does well.
The match marked the return of the Yuzuvendra Chahal Leg-Spin and Kuldeep – a pair known as ‘Kulcha.’ Reunited in ODI for the first time since the World Cup match against England in Edgbaston in 2019, they chose four goals between them.
