Smooth start for India, as both openers didn’t took much risk. India is at 7/0 in first over. 

Match begins as Indian openers Shubman Gill and skipper Rohit Sharma enter the ground with pads on. 

“We would have batted first as well. They are pretty strong side compared to us but we have to play a good game, we will somehow try to win the game. We are going with the same team.”

“We are going to have a bat. That’s the challenge you come across as a sportsman, different challenges thrown at you as a player and as a team. We ensured everyone got into the pool after the game last night. They are fresh as we had five days off before these two games. Last game was good for us, we batted well and then came out to defend the total with some good bowling. But again this is a new day and a fresh game. The pitch looks different, looks a lot drier and there’s no grass and hence we bring in Axar for Shardul. It might assist the spinners but we also have three quality pacers.”

India have won the toss and decide to bat first.

India should decide to bat first if Rohit wins the toss, according to Gautam Gambhir, because it will be tough for the team to field under such hot and humid conditions in Colombo.

India do not depend on only one batter now, said Sanjay Manjrekar on Star Sports. According to him, it will be a great plus for the Men in Blue at the World Cup 2023.

Will India play with the same team? See what Ravi Shastri says. According to him, batters – especially the ones who scored big runs – should not be rested.

On September 11, Virat Kohli’s century against Pakistan helped him set a new record to become the quickest batsman to rack up 13,000 runs in ODIs. King Kohli surpassed a milestone previously held by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who set the record in 2004, also against Pakistan in Rawalpindi.

There are three active batters in the list of top 10 run-scorers in the Asia Cup history. Rohit Sharma is at number 4 with 886 runs, the second being Mushfiqur Rahim (830) and the third Virat Kohli (739). Rohit is 65 runs away from breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record as the highest Indian run-getter at the Asia Cup.

Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the Sri Lanka match, Cricbuzz reported while citing sources.

India’s expected line-up today is expected to have zero changes from last night. Here is the line-up: Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (WK), Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

The pitch at R Premadasa Stadium has regularly favoured spin bowlers. Kuldeep Yadav secured five wickets against Pakistan. Pace bowlers typically find it difficult to make a strong impact on this kind of turf. Pakistani pacers like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah did not make any impact.

Batsmen who show restraint and technical prowess have the opportunity to rack up a substantial score. In the Pakistan match, the top four batters from India benefitted as they built their innings with patience. The nature of the game is likely to be similar today as well.

Overcast conditions are seen in Colombo. Fans have their fingers crossed.

The BCCI has shared a Virat Kohli appreciation post.

The chance of rain is low (15%) for the most part of the match, as per Weather.com. However, around 7 PM, there may be rain with thunderstorms. The possibility of heavy rain is after 10 PM again. It is expected that the match will not be much affected by rain.

People are wondering what will happen if the rest of the Super Four matches get washed out. As it turns out, there are no reserve days from here on. So, if all the Super Four matches – including the India vs Sri Lanka match – get washed out, India and Sri Lanka will technically play the final since they are the top two teams on the points table.

Irfan Pathan talks about Sri Lankan spinners and the threat they pose. Check how India can deal with them, as per Irfan.

Should Kuldeep Yadav secure four more wickets in today’s game (he had five last night), he’s poised to outpace Anil Kumble and become the fastest Indian spinner to hit the 150-wicket milestone. Kumble previously set the record with 106 matches under his belt.

Moreover, Kuldeep would earn the title of India’s second-fastest bowler to achieve this feat across all roles, coming in just behind Mohammed Shami, who accomplished it in 80 games. He would also surpass current chief selector Ajit Agarkar, who took 97 matches to get there. Globally, Australia’s Mitchell Starc leads the pack, having claimed 150 wickets in just 77 ODIs.

Thanks to his remarkable performance, Virat Kohli is inching closer to Sachin Tendulkar’s milestone of 49 ODI hundreds, needing just two more to match it. After his unbeaten century against Pakistan, VK is on the brink of becoming the first cricketer to achieve 50 centuries in ODI history. 

Will he score his 48th today? Well, he has scored a ton in each of his last four outings at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma haven’t yet partnered at the crease in the Asia Cup 2023. This iconic Indian duo is on the brink of creating history, needing just a couple more runs to be the quickest to amass 5,000 runs in ODI partnerships. To date, they’ve shared the crease in 85 innings, accumulating 4,998 runs.

Should both players have a partnership today, they stand a chance to eclipse the longstanding record held by West Indies legends Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes, who took 97 innings to reach this milestone.

Rohit Sharma needs one more six to become the batter with the highest number of sixes in the Asia Cup. With one six, he will get past Shahid Afridi, whom Rohit is equalling now with 26 sixes. Just one more six is not a big deal for RoHIT Sharma!

India are leading the points table at the moment while Sri Lanka are at number 2. Both India and Sri Lanka have two points after one match in the Super Four stage. However, India’s massive win against Pakistan has helped the Men in Blue achieve a convincing net run rate (NRR) of +4.560 while Lanka have +0.420 NRR.

The Premadasa Stadium in Colombo has been a hunting ground for Virat Kohli, who has scored four centuries over there. On September 11, Virat Kohli hit a significant milestone during the game with Pakistan. He became the second cricketer to score hundreds in four consecutive innings at a single ground. This achievement places him alongside Hashim Amla, who had previously accomplished this at Centurion’s SuperSport Park.

India’s match against Sri Lanka will also be held at the same venue. Any guesses, Kohli fans?

“Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise… You are everything, I love you,” wrote actor Athiya Shetty, the wife of KL Rahul who scored a smashing hundred upon his return to the Indian team after six months. Rahul had been out of the team due to injury, and some experts like Gautam Gambhir questioned his inclusion.

It’s a bright day in Colombo, reported RevSportz.

“Time to shine again, boys!” wrote Punjab Kings while hoping for another win for Team India.

India secured the “biggest win” against Pakistan in ODIs on September 11, 2023. 

“Hope the weather is kind to us once again!” tweeted Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the IPL team that Virat Kohli is associated with. Virat, with an unbeaten 122, was declared the Man of the Match against Pakistan.

Kuldeep Yadav’s stellar performance, taking five wickets, helped India triumph over Pakistan with a 228-run margin. This win is being hailed as India’s most significant victory ever against their long-standing rivals, Pakistan.
