Commentary

India do take the lead in the series with the first game wrapped up in Guwahati but there's still all to play for in this series as the caravan moves to Kolkata for the second ODI. Do join us for that one, but for now, it's all we have for you from the coverage of this contest. To keep up with the SA20 action which kicked off today, you can just switch tabs to stay tuned with all the live action. That's it for now though. This is Pratyush, signing off on behalf of my partner, Pradeep. Goodnight!

Right then. India start off 2023 with a win in the first ODI of the year. With all the focus on the World Cup later this year, there were plenty of positives for the hosts. Kohli obviously grabs the headlines but Gill and Rohit did their bit too. As did Siraj and the rest of the bowling unit, who could have been in with a shout to be the Player of the Match as well. Nevertheless, Sri Lanka had some positives of their own too, none other than their captain, who continues to lead from the front.

Virat Kohli bags the Player of the Match award. Here is what the centurion has to say: I don't think there was anything different. My preparation and intent always stay the same. Sometimes, you don't quite get the flow that you want but today, I just felt like I was hitting the ball nicely from the get-go, so I just kept backing my intent. Even when the wickets fell, I had to hold one end and bat along with the other guys. As I said in the mid-innings break, it was very close to the template that I play with and understanding the conditions in the second half. I also had in mind that we would need those 25-30 extra runs and eventually, I was just happy to get that for the team to give us a comfortable total on the board. (Learning from his lean patch) The one thing that I learned was that desperation doesn't get you anywhere. The game still remains very simply. It's when we start complicating things with our own attachments, our own desires, our own attachment to who we've become from people's point of view. Not who we were when we picked up the bat or the ball and why we started playing. When that perspective goes off, you start putting yourself in a space where everything just keeps spirling downwards. It's only that detachment in the real sense that you go out there and play without any fear and for the right reasons. Almost play every game like it's your last and being happy about it. These are the things I learned. I can't hold onto things. The game is going to move on and keep going on. Many players have played in the past as well. I'm not going to play forever, so what am I trying to hold onto? What am I trying to protect? All these things, I realized and I'm in a happy space. I just want to enjoy as long as I play this game.

Rohit Sharma (Indian captain): Very impressed with the win. We started off really well with the bat and to get that kind of runs, it was a great effort from all the batters. The platform was set to come out and play freely for a lot of the batters and we played some really good cricket with the bat. But of course, we could have bowled slightly better. I don't want to be too critical about it. It wasn't the easiest bowling conditions, although the dew was not so much. It's still not easy to bowl under the lights once it settles in. We bowled pretty well as a unit because if you want to win games like this, everyone needs to come to the party and I thought we bowled pretty well upfront to get wickets with the new ball which helped us get some momentum. (Dropped catches) You've got to be in the game to take those half chances and catches. Having said that, you won't always have a perfect game. There will be some areas where you need to look at as a group. It's a team sport. It's not about one or two individuals and all eleven members need to come together on the park collectively to put the effort. (Shami run out at non-striker's end) I had no idea Shami did that. He went for the appeal. He (Shanaka) was batting on 98 and the way he was batting was brilliant. So, you've got to give it to him. We didn't want to get him out like that. We wanted to get him out the way we thought we'll get him out. Hats off to him. He batted really well.

Dasun Shanaka (Sri Lanka captain): The start the Indian batters got was brilliant, our bowlers didn't live up to the expectations, didn't use the new ball to good effect but Indian bowlers stuck to their plans, bowled wicket to wicket and used the swing to their advantage. The bowlers didn't execute the plans, we just need to stick to it and do the basic things, first 12-15 overs is crucial. I'm doing the basics really well here, I back myself and it's working for me. In the ODI's, I may not need to go up the order but in T20's definitely I need to promote myself when the team needs me.

Umran Malik: I've played just six games, my intention is to do well for the country and play well, bowl well in the right areas. There wasn't much bounce on offer on that track, spoke to Rohit, Shami and they told me to bowl in the right areas and it worked out well for me.

India won by 67 runs

Virat Kohli - 113 (87) | Umran Malik - 3/57
Dasun Shanka - 108* (88) | Kasun Rajitha - 3/88

It's a commanding performance from India to kick this series off with a win. It was set up by the batters that made the most of the conditions on offer, putting up a mammoth total on the board. Half-centuries from Rohit and Gill set the tone up top, followed by Kohli's 73rd ton that put India in the driver's seat.

In reply, Sri Lanka were rattled early on with Avishka and Mendis departing early courtesy of an excellent opening spell by Siraj. Nissanka was the glue holding their innings, getting a fair bit of support from Asalanka and de Silva in the middle overs. However, neither sustained long enough to put India under any real pressure at any stage.

Umran sent Asalanka packing before Shami broke the 72-run stand between de Silva and Nissanka, sending the former on his way to put India in the ascendancy. Umran returned with a double whammy of his own, dismissing Nissanka and Wellalage in the same over to all but take this game away from Sri Lanka once and for all.

Dasun Shanaka can hold his head high though, standing tall in the wake of the storm. The captain took his time in the middle before unleashing on the Indian bowlers at the death. He notched up a superb century in what proved to be a valiant knock but unfortunately left himself too much to do for his side to get a win.

Sri Lanka managing to get to 300 is a positive in itself, considering how they were struggling at 206-8 at one stage. However, with close to 700 runs scored today, it's India who come out as the eventual winners with a 67-run victory to take a one-nil lead in this three-match series. Stick around for the post-match reactions.

49.6 Mohammad Shami to Dasun Shanaka, SIX! BAM! India win and go 1-0 up in this three match ODI series! Full and in the slot for Shanaka, gets hold of it as he DISPATCHES this one into the stands over deep mid-wicket fence for a maximum.

Standing ovation for the Sri Lankan captain. It's his second century in ODI and he takes his helmet off to tap the crest on his chest. What a tour he has had.

49.5 Mohammad Shami to Dasun Shanaka, FOUR! HUNDRED FOR SHANAKA! What an innings from the Sri Lankan skipper, he never gave up but he lost partners at the other end. Full and just outside the off-stump, Shanaka thrashes it to deep extra-cover fence for a boundary.

49.4 Mohammad Shami to Kasun Rajitha, OH DEAR! Short into Rajitha, gets rushed as he hops on his toes, taps it into the off-side, slight hesitation as the throw comes to Shanaka's end up he makes it, there's overthrows as that raced away to the fence for five runs in the end.

Shanaka stranded on 99. Shami ran him out at the nonstriker's end but India have quickly withdrawn their appeal. Booooo!

49.3 Mohammad Shami to Dasun Shanaka, yorker length on the fifth stump, Shanaka squeezes it down to third-man and takes a single. Can Rajitha bring his skipper back on strike to get to his hundred?

We'll have to wait for the entire process but replays are good enough to confirm this one's going to be missing the leg stump.

49.2 Mohammad Shami to Dasun Shanaka, BIG APPEAL FOR LBW, TURNED DOWN! Probably missing leg-stump, Rohit wants to review. Full and angled into Shanaka on the leg-stump, misses the whip, thuds on the pad. UltraEdge comes up and confirms flat line. Ball tracking has IMPACT OUTSIDE THE LEG-STUMP! Let's move on!

49.1 Mohammad Shami to Dasun Shanaka, length delivery on the stumps, Shanaka spanks it down to long-on, fielder runs around to stop it and they hare back for the brace. Shanaka moves to 97!

And just like that, we're heading into the final over of this contest. Rajitha has played his part in this partnership that is up to 82. Shanaka needs 5 runs to record hsi century.
