Kohli began the innings with a flurry of boundaries before accumulating runs with his exemplary running between the wickets. Gill and Kohli then shared a 131-run stand in which they were hardly troubled by the Sri Lankan bowlers. The 23-run over from Lahiru Kumara in the initial stage of the innings got India going.

He flicks the last ball of the over to register the third boundary of the over. Kumara to Kohli and he flicks it for a double. Kohli gives the ball a bit of a charge and pushes it on off for a single. he drives off the front foot for a boundary. Another boundary for Gill to end the over. Short, doesn’t bounce much and goes off the top edge and over the keeper for a boundary. First is one short and Gill thumps it to the midwicket boundary off the backfoot. Pushed off the front foot by Kohli for a single off the final ball. Full-toss on the pads from Kumara and Kohli whips it to the square-leg boundary. A couple of singles to end the over. An error from Shami this time as the ball goes down the leg and Rahul could not offer much as the ball raced away for a boundary. Siraj to Fernando, a thick outside edge goes in between the two slips - Kohli and Shubman for a FOUR!

Defending 390, India bowled the visitors out for 73 to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.

Catches kept going down, balls kept getting fumbled, loose balls kept arriving, and Kohli went from zero sixes in the first 40 overs to eight by the end of the innings, the Eventually he got an lbw decision in his favour with the last ball of his allotment of 10, but Rajitha had inside-edged it, and reviewed successfully. And once Kohli is fresh and set in the death overs, the pressure on the fielding side is extreme. That the pitch had become even slower and more difficult to score off was apparent in the way Shreyas Iyer struggled for timing. A brief lull was then broken with two sixes and a four from Rohit in the 10th over, bowled by Kasun Rajitha. During his hundred in the first ODI, Kohli seemed to run out of juice towards the end. He took 34 balls to get the 48 runs needed for his hundred while Kohli settled into an upgraded version of the already efficient anchor he was: scoring at more than a run a ball without taking any risks. Kohli walked in, and cover-drove the second ball he faced for four. After the slow start, Gill followed a Rohit six with four consecutive fours in the sixth over, bowled by Lahiru Kumara. [Virat Kohli](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/virat-kohli-253802)and [Shubman Gill](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/shubman-gill-1070173)powered India to 390 on a slow and seemingly lifeless track before the ball started hooping around under lights. The lack of depth in the Sri Lanka bowling showed, which meant the batters could afford to not go hard against Wanindu Hasaranga. In the home stretch, he turned into a sprinter.

Ashen Bandara and and Jeffrey Vandersay had an unfortunate collision on the field while trying to save a boundary off Virat Kohli.

[Rohit Sharma](https://indianexpress.com/about/rohit-sharma/) (42 off 49) and Gill (116 off 97) laid the platform for a massive total with a 95-run opening partnership before Kohli (166 not out off 110) did the needful with his 74th international hundred and 46th in the 50-over format.

Sri Lanka's Jeffrey Vandersay and Ashen Bandara were involved in a collision during the third ODI against India at the Greenfield Stadium in ...

The two players were writhing in pain as the Sri Lankan physio hurried towards them. Meanwhile, Bandara didn’t come out to bat as Sri Lanka’s innings ended when it lost nine wickets for 73 runs, handing India a record 317-run win. The incident occurred in the 43rd over when Virat Kohli pulled a back-of-length delivery towards deep square-leg fence to move to 99.
