Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer power India to 357/8 against Sri Lanka in 2023 World Cup
Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis won the toss and opted to bowl first in the contest. Dilshan Madushanka cleaned up Rohit Sharma on the second ball of the match to give Sri Lanka a great start. Shubman Gill (92) and Virat Kohli (88) then stitched an 189-run partnership to set a nice platform for India after an early setback.
Both of them fell in successive overs without scoring their hundreds. KL Rahul (21) and Suryakumar Yadav (12) got starts but could not kick on. Shreyas Iyer (82) played an aggressive knock and ensured that the platform set by Kohli and Gill did not go to waste.
Ravindra Jadeja also played a useful cameo in the end to help India reach a mammoth total of 357/8.
