Given Mohali's substantial limits, Sri Lanka's reaction was to take pace off the ball and take a stab at rocking the bowling alley short. It didn't work. Sri Lanka's end-overs pros Suranga Lakmal and Nuwan Pradeep at that point had a go at terminating in wide yorkers. It didn't work. Straight yorkers? Probably not. Low full-hurls brought about sixes over midwicket and square leg. As the level of terrorizing went up, Sri Lanka became progressively powerless.

So frantic was the pace of the last third of Rohit's innings that he scored the greater part of his unbeaten 208 in the last 10 overs. He had bumped his way to his sixteenth ODI century before the finish of the 40th, and afterward went ahead to pound 107 more off his last 37 balls. He scored 144, near 70% of his runs, square on either side of the wicket.

India scored 147 in the last 10 overs. Nuwan Pradeep approached Mick Lewis' record of most runs surrendered in an ODI, yet completed seven runs short, finishing at 10-0-106-0.

Certainty is apparently the most compelling variable in brandish. Any group will undoubtedly be conditional in the wake of drooping to 29 for 7 in their past diversion. So when India were placed in to bat in cloudy conditions, Rohit and Dhawan set away their assaulting impulses, permitting Sri Lanka's in-frame seamers to win the main Powerplay: they scored only 33 in the initial 10 overs.

Aside from their capacity to take singles with delicate delivers the Powerplay, Rohit and Dhawan are likewise capable in light of the fact that they lean toward various lengths. Dhawan kicks back and sits tight for bowlers to blunder on the short side, and Rohit favors the more full length when they adjust. For 10 overs, Sri Lanka found the ideal length in the middle.

As weariness sneaked in and new bowlers set aside opportunity to settle, they blundered time and again. India's run-rate ascended from somewhat more than three to over five out of a couple of overs from there on. Dhawan was especially beneficial square on either side of the wicket, hitting nine fours previously scooping a flick to midwicket off Sachith Pathirana.

In the wake of cruising to fifty, Rohit picked just the errant conveyances to assault. Be that as it may, India's run-rate stayed grand because of Iyer's antagonism. In the wake of moving discreetly to 11 off 15, he chipped down the track off Pathirana and hit him over mid-on regardless of not getting to the pitch of the ball. Sri Lanka changed their length, and Iyer jumped on width.

Iyer drove the charge after Rohit's ton. He showed the solid base gave control that has nearly turned into an imperative in current ODI batting. He additionally flaunted his touch, directing and scything balls either side of point. He in the end holed out for 88 off 70 balls, an innings that highlighted nine fours and two sixes, in the 46th over, yet the harm had been finished.
