I was expecting some sort of fightback from the Lankans considering the pitch was really good to bat on.
But they really bend the knee and hardly showed any intent in the powerplay and middle order. Even centurion Dasun Shanaka was playing half heartedly and only accelerated his inning when the match was almost dead. Siraj is turning out to be a real wicket taker in the powerplay and he's making a habit of getting early breakthroughs for the team.

India vs Sri Lanka today's ODI match is full of joy for cricket lovers. Because India showed their performance and Virat Kohli scored 113 runs off 87 balls. The performance he showed today against Sri Lanka is more of a performance against Sri Lanka. And due to India not getting all the wickets in today's match, India is not in a wicket crisis due to which their run rate is much higher than Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's Mendis batting he sings out for zero runs and this is where Sri Lanka are under a lot of pressure as their game will be downright low when the wicket runs out. It will never be possible for Sri Lanka's current batting to score 194 runs as Sri Lanka is under a lot of pressure from the current wicket.
Sirlanka couldn't bat up to the mark in this match as they have a huge target of 373 runs . Almost all their batting lineup failed infront of Indian ballers.Indian performance was very confident today , they played maturely and didn't build any pressure on them that's why India is going to win this one.
We saw a splendid display of batting performance by the Indian team who score a giant total for 374 runs against Srilanka. Virat Kohli scored 113 runs and all other batsmen scored good runs which helped India reach this big total.
Srilanka could not match the batting performance by India and are struggling at 261 for 8 wickets down. They won't be able to score remaining 112 runs in last 5 overs.
Match is totally on India side as they have already won this ODI. Brilliant performance by Indian team, well deserved win.

An absolutely great start by the Indian openers. I was expecting Rohit to hit a century, unfortunately he got out. India are 193/2 at the end of 26th over. With this speed they will easily score 350+ runs. It won't be easy for Srilanka to chase such big target. Kohli is looking good and I am atleast expecting a half century from him today.
Virat Kohli's return to runs after much criticism has become an important hotline in Indian cricket. In today's match, Virat Kohli not only scored runs but scored an important century. Along with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, who was sidelined for a few matches due to injury, is also back in the running. Today's India is facing a mountain target of even runs in front of Sri Lanka which is quite impossible for Sri Lanka to complete the target and win. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have lost three wickets for 63 runs after 15 overs.

Good come back by the legend! Hopefully he will continue his form till the world cup.
In ODI cricket, Virat Kohli bagged another century. An innings typical of Kohli's patience, maturity, and mastery. There is a return to form for both the King and Hitman. With the World Cup just around the corner, India is pumped up and focused.Pathetic fielding by the Srilankan team. They gave away nearly 30 to 40 runs to India due to poor fielding. This might come back to them when they come to bat. I am expecting India to set a target of 375+ for Srilanka.
As a result of playing at home, it was expected. The Sri Lankan bowlers did not perform well against India, they batted on expected lines. Despite conceding just 38 runs off the last five overs, Sri Lanka must now chase 374 runs to win.
Is this a monkey off the back moment for Koach? ICT fans would like to believe it and if that's the case then plz plz a couple of tons in Feb too (BGT) 
Now coming back to the match, i feel Indians lost the momentum in the last 9 overs and scored run a ball in the last 3 overs so overall 15-20 runs short.
Not to mention it's a high scoring ground and dew effect will play a huge part in the second inning. If Lankans batters click then we'll see some tight contest.

Virat Kohli completed his 73rd century today. We are proud to have such a great sportsman like Virat Kohli as a supporter of India. Hopefully if Virat Kohli can maintain his performance like this then Virat Kohli will break Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 century and create a new record. Which will be impossible to break...

There is hammering of Srilankans bowlers going on in Guwahati by Indian Batsmen. The good thing from indian perspective is that Virat Kohli has also joined the party and is scoring runs today. He is not out on 85 runs from 71 balls. Still 36 more balls to go and India already have scored 326 runs. I think India will set a target of around 400 runs and its very much possible since they have 6 wickets in hands. most importantly kohli is there and scoring runs.

Very good start by Indian batsman , great batting and all their players are making good runs rohit sharma, virat kohli all have done great job. India has made 292 runs on 3 wirlcets I'm less than 40 overs. If they continue to bat like this they will take target to 400 atleast .

India vs Sri Lanka first ODI match started just some time ago. Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to field. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill lost the toss and came to bat. Currently the team runs 48 without losing any wicket after playing 6.2 overs. Rohit Sharma scored 23 runs off 16 balls. Shubman Gill scored 25 runs off 22 balls. Sri Lanka's record against India is quite poor. So far India and Sri Lanka have played 19 ODIs out of which India have won 14 series. Sri Lanka won 2 matches. And three matches have been drawn. But India's performance is in a very good position at the moment. Let's see if Sri Lanka can win against India in today's match.
Pakistan VS Newzealand
Pakistan beat New Zealand by 6 wickets in the first ODI match between New Zealand and Pakistan. New Zealand won the toss first and collected 255 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the allotted 50 overs. Even though everyone in the team performed well, no one scored a half century. Pakistan's pressure Naseem Shah took 5 wickets for 57 runs in 10 overs. With a target of 256 runs,Pakistan went into bat and won in 48.1 overs. Almost all the Pakistani batsmen performed very well and Mohammad Rizwan top scored with 77 runs. India VS Srilanka
After India's victory in the T20 series, the ODI series is starting now. Today's ODI series will see a number of changes for India with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli being included in the squad. However, after losing the ODI series with Bangladesh, it will be seen how India fares against Sri Lanka at their home venue. But it is expected that India will perform well against Sri Lanka.
For the first match, it was quite one-sided and Pakistan won the match easily due to their strong bowling side then Babar played well, Reezwan played well and Batting's performance was also impressive.
For the Second one SKY is a total beast i was watching a meme on the Sri Lanka team vs IND series wining closure but SKY was the boss haha. All 3 matches were in hands of Sri Lanka and SKY snatched those matches and made India Win. He is great.

As such, the IPL only allots 14 matches per team in a season (a few more in case they qualify for the knockout stage). So a maximum of 56 overs will be bowled by Bumrah in case he plays all the 14 matches for Mumbai Indians. And that too over a period of 2.5 to 3 months. He may bowl that many overs in a single match, if he takes part in test cricket. So on paper it may sound that the work load in IPL is manageable. But things are not as simple as they sound. For every 4 overs being bowled in an IPL match, Bumrah may practice for 20x of that (80 overs). There is a good gap between IPL matches for each team. And this is what results in a multitude of injuries for many players immediately after the IPL season.
There's a lot of logic to that since money talks. Having aged and been injured, he now has to make a decision. So, Mumbai Indians will surely have him back in shape before the IPL begins, and he will also play all the games in the IPL. The cycle will continue after the IPL season ends when he will put his name down again in the injury list. Keeping him away from the IPL is the best way to preserve his quality.
BCCI tried to resolve this issue in their recent meeting by giving players the choice of skipping IPL, in case they complain about breaks, schedules etc. In the long run, this move could encourage players to choose 2 formats, which is good. If players are playing in IPL then they can't complain about bilateral, rest etc and they have to be available for selection for the national team.
btw on Bumrah
Bhumrah is facing tough competition but he is still irreplaceable. He will eventually be part of the playing 11 after he has fully recovered from his back injury. It is just the stiffness of the back that he complained about and the team management did not wanted to take any risk therefore he has been dropped. I am pretty sure he would be ready before the IPL and the he would be playing in the upcoming world cup.
No one in the Indian team is irreplaceable. There is a lot of depth in the player pool and non-performing players should be kicked out without much delay. And in case of Bumrah, when he got his injury he was not in top form. His T20 bowling average was 31.50 for the year of 2022, although he performed better in test and ODI format. Hopefully he will undertake steps to reduce the workload. The most suitable format for him would be test, but nowadays no one prefers this format since money is not there. And I am afraid that the IPL 2023 will just exacerbate his injury troubles.
