So India starts their mission to the 2023 World Cup with a comprehensive win against Sri Lanka. The top five batters can be persisted for a long run. There might be many options to explore in the bowling unit, particularly the pace department. But for now we will leave you here with all the updates from the match are over. Till then take care and hope to see you'll back for the second ODI on January 12, Thursday.

Virat Kohli (POTM) (2/2): 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.

India won by 67 runs.

Virat Kohli (POTM) (1/2): 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.

Rohit Sharma (2/2): 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.

Rohit Sharma (1/2): 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.

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.

Dasun Shanaka: 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.

Match Summary

Indian openers Rohit Sharma (83) and Shubman Gill (72) posted 143 runs for the opening stand before Virat Kohli (113) recorded his 45th ODI century to put India with a commendable score of 373 for 7. Mohammed Siraj gave inflicted some early dismissals in Sri Lanka's chase, however, Pathum Nissanka and Dhananjaya de Silva built a 72-run partnership. Both of them couldn't continue beyond a point and lost their wickets. Wanindu Hasaranga and Chamika Karunaratne went after playing very short cameos. But Dasun Shanaka was never in the mood to perish and continued to play a blistering knock even when the results were out of his side's favour. Shanaka ended up scoring his maiden ODI hundred in a 67-run loss for the Islanders.

India won by 67 runs not before Shanaka onslaught

Shami had almost run out Shanaka at the non-striker's end. The third umpire was ready to send the appeal upstairs but Rohit's intervention meant India would allow the Sri Lankan skipper to stay on the pitch for the last three balls else he could have been dismissed on 98.

The fourth ball of the over went for five runs. There was another attempt for run out at Shanaka's end (striker) but he had made it to the crease but India conceded five runs, four via overthrow. Shanaka was back at the crease and a four helped him score his maiden ODI century. The Sri Lankan skipper smashed Shami for a six to finish the game, but for India. The hosts won by 67 runs after a long wait.

Shanaka goes big

Six!!! Shanaka puts this one into the second tier. He turned down the track and dispatched it over long-off for a maximum.

Two more fours came from Shanaka's willow at the start of the 48th over bowled by Mohammed Shami. The first one went past the extra cover and the second between the backward point and the short third.

Shanaka takes the game to death overs

Shanaka ensures that India won't bowl his side out like walk in the park and takes his chances to find the gaps. The latest he slashed past the backward point for a four off Mohammed Shami.

Kohli drops Shanaka

There was a moment for India to seal the game before 50 overs as Shanaka hammered one flat down the ground, with Virat Kohli made efforts to dive forward but could not hold on to the catch as the ball went through his hands for a boundary.

No ease for Umran Malik

Shanaka would love to toy with Umran Malik's economy rate even though the pacer has picked three wickets. He adds two more boundaries to his count of three in their previous over-meet.

Fifty for Shanaka

The Sri Lankan captain reached his fifty in a run-a-ball fashion. He plundered a couple of runs against Axar Patel to reach the landmark. Perhaps a century isn't far with more than seven over left to be bowled.

Shanaka takes on Umran Malik

Shanaka slams three fours in a row against Umran Malik in the 42nd over. This man cannot be written off even if his team does.

Shanaka in no mood to give up

Four!!! Shanaka cuts it hard against Axar Patel and the ball went past the backward point for a boundary.

SL 228/8 (41 overs) Pathum Nissanka 72; Umran Malik 3/32

Shanaka in no mood to give up

Six!!! Shanaka nonchalantly smashed Siraj over the fence for a maximum. He has something in his mind and might replicate what he did in the T20Is last week.

Hardik dismiss Chamika Karunaratne

Hardik gets his counterpart as Chamika Karunaratne comes down the track and lofted up in the air. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma takes a dolly at mid-on. India need two more wickets to wrap the game.

Chamika Karunaratne and Dasun Shanaka have delayed India's victory moment for a while. It looks like the pair might play some blistering shots and play the full innings rather than surrendering.

Umran picks his third

Using his sheer pace, Umran Malik got the better of Dunith Wellalage. A delivery pitched well outside the off-stump was followed by a thick outside edge by Wellalage. The Sri Lankan youngster went for naught after facing six deliveries only.

Dunith Wellalage 0 (6 balls)

An over of topsy-turvey

Wanindu Hasaranga blasted with a couple of sixes followed by a boundary in three successive balls off Yuzvendra Chahal. In the quest of more, Hasaranga went for another big hit, and this time the ball went miles up in the sky before Shreyas Iyer took a spectacular catch with precise judgment. A short cameo from Hasaranga halts here. Chahal has the last laugh.

Wanindu Hasaranga 16 (7 balls; 1 four and two sixes)

Umran Malik brings end to Nissanka's gritty innings

Pathum Nissanka was late in playing the swivel pull shot and followed with a top edge. Axar Patel took a great catch at the square leg to get rid of the Sri Lankan opener. Umran Malik picked his second wicket of the night.

Pathum Nissanka 72 (80 balls, 11 fours)

Mohammed Shami ends Dhananjaya de Silva's resistance

DDS was playing a perfect role in picking up the innings. He played a vital knock of 47 runs in 40 balls before Shami induced an edge off his bat. The batter hanged his bat as Shami bowled wide, and a strong edge was followed in the hands of keeper KL Rahul.

Dhananjaya de Silva 47 (40 balls; 9 fours)

Fifty for Pathum Nissanka

Nissanka picks a single after slamming Chahal for a couple of fours on the first two deliveries of the 21st over. His 5th 50-plus score in 21 One-Day International innings. The opener has stood tall and delivered under pressure even when his partners were crumbling down the order.

Nissanka and DDS hit one boundary each in the 19th over bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal. Nissanka got a leading edge, while de Silva bent on his knee to send it past deep mid-wicket.

SL 86/3 (19 overs) Pathum Nissanka 41; Mohammed Siraj 2/15

DDS hammers Umran Malik

Dhananjaya de Silva has hit a couple of boundaries in a row in the final two deliveries off Umran Malik's 16th over. The first one came through an edge and the next one was a crackling shot just before the drinks break.

SL 74/3 (16 overs) Pathum Nissanka 34; Mohammed Siraj 2/15

Umran gets Asalanka

Umran Malik has forced Charith Asalanka to nick one behind the wickets. Kept it down the leg side and tickled Asalanka's bat. Rahul dived to his right to take an excellent catch as Sri Lanka lose their third wicket.

Charith Asalanka 23 (28 balls; three fours)

Charith Asalanka targets Hardik

Asalanka smashed a couple of fours against Hardik Pandya in the 11th over. On the first ball of the over, the southpaw hoicked toward the deep square leg and pulled another for a boundary.

Nissanka survives LBW call via DRS

Pathum Nissanka was adjudged out by the on-field umpire after Indian fielders appealed for an LBW shoutout. The Sri Lankan opener was immediate to challenge the decision. The ball nipped back sharply and thudded on the pads only for the replays to show that there was a big inside edge and Nissanka won the judgment against him.

SL38/2 (10 overs) Pathum Nissanka 22; Mohammed Siraj 2/15

Asalanka strikes

Four!!! Asalanka smashed one over extra cover as the ball raced to the boundary ropes. First boundary for the southpaw in this innings, will need many more.

Nissanka at his best

Four!!! Pathum Nissanka is determined to play big innings for his team. On one hand Siraj stand as a brute force for the visitors, on the other side Nissanka is continuing to plunder boundaries. This time he caressed straight down the ground as the ball races down for a boundary.

Siraj cleans up Kusal Mendis

Siraj has got one of the biggest wickets of Sri Lanka's batting order. A lenght delivery nipped back sharply to sneak through the gates and crash into the stumps of Mendis. The Indian pacer has struck two wickets in two overs now.

SL 25/2 Pathum Nissanka; 17 Mohammed Siraj 2/6

Siraj draws the first blood

Mohammed Siraj created pressure around Avishka Fernando with four consecutive dot balls in the fourth over. Avishka got into the bait and hoicked it across the line. Hardik Pandya ran from mid-off to take a great catch as Sri Lanka lost their first wicket in a daunting chase.

SL 19/1 (4 overs) Pathum Nissanka 13; Mohammed Siraj 1/4

Four!!! Nissanka cashed in after Shami repeatedly erred with his lines. Tickled one down to the fine leg for a boundary.

Sri Lanka openers start the innings with a few boundaries

The second innings have started and Sri Lanka openers have hit a few boundaries. Pathum Nissanka hit Mohammed Shami for a couple of fours in the first over, while Avishka Fernando got one past the point for his first boundary against Mohammed Siraj.

SL 12/0 (2 overs)

Virat Kohli after scoring century

Kohli: I could have got out for 50 odd. I'm just grateful and thankful that I was blessed with a little bit of luck today. It's important that we got 20-25 runs extra over 350. I think it was 330 odd that we were chasing (here in 2018) so we had to get those 40-45 runs extra. I remember Rohit batted through the innings that day. Someone will have to get a 150 and a 140 to chase this down. It's also good for the bowlers to practice in these conditions, what areas you want to bowl with the dew. It'll also give them confidence on how to bowl with the dew for a lesser score than today.

Virat Kohli after scoring century

Kohli: Not bad, I've had a bit of a break. Couple of practice sessions before this. I was mentally fresh after the Bangladesh tour where things didn't go as well as I would have liked. I just wanted to go at my own pace and be positive from the outset. I had to bat through until the end. I would take those any day. Luck plays a big part. You just bow your head down and thank God on these kind of evenings. You tend to get frustrated when it doesn't go your way but it's important to remember these things as well

India post 373 in 1st innings

Chamika Karunaratne conceded just six runs in the final over as India's brilliant innings finished at 373/7 in 50 overs. Mohammed Siraj on a couple of instances picked two runs in the last three deliveries to add his mere contribution to the side's humungous score.

Rajitha dismiss Kohli just before the innings

Kasun Rajitha picked his third wicket of the day and this time it was Virat Kohli. A slower delivery pitched full and outside the off-stump was played across the line by Kohli who sat on his one knee. It went miles in the sky before Kusal Mendis lunged to catch it near the square leg. End of a spectacular knock from Kohli.

Virat Kohli 113 (87 balls; 12 fours and one six)

Chamika Karunaratne gets Axar Patel

Axar Patel got a leading edge as the man at cover had to barely move and caught a sitter. India lost their sixth wicket after scoring more than 360.

Axar Patel 9 (9 balls)

IND 363/6 (48 overs) Virat Kohli 113; Kasun Rajitha 2/84

Virat Kohli achieves 45th ODI century

Kohli picks a single just after smashing a boundary as the India No.3 completes 73rd international hundred. His 45th in ODIs and ninth against Sri Lanka. He has levelled his ODI century tally against Sri Lanka and West Indies by scoring nine against each team.

Four!!! Virat Kohli hits a four off Kasun Rajitha's first ball of the 47th over. He moves to 99.

Rajitha sent Hardik Pandya back

A slower delibery from Rajitha that was pushed wide of off-stump was smashed by Hardik. The Indian all-rounder could not get the distance and Hasaranga was at the throat of long-on to take a reverse cupped catch.

Hardik Pandya 14 (12 balls; one six)

Kohli hits a couple of fours to move to 90s

Kohli smashed Chamika Karunaratne for back-to-back boundaries in a row in the 44th over. The fomer India captain has entered the stage of ninties now.

IND 329/4 (44 overs) Virat Kohli 91*; Dasun Shanaka 1/22

Virat Kohli has looked composed throughout his innings and sets himself for another ODI century.

Rajitha bowled KL Rahul

Kasun Rajitha cleaned up KL Rahul around his legs with a slowe ball on the pads. Rahul was dismissed just after hammering a boundary to put India past 300-run mark.

KL Rahul 39 (29 balls; four fours and a six)

KL Rahul is batting with similar intensity on the other hand to shun the doubts over his form. Rahul has so far smashed three fours and a six against DDS. The Kohli-Rahul combination are carrying the momentum forwad after a solid partnership from the openers at the top.

IND 287/3 (39 overs) Rohit Sharma 83; Dasun Shanaka 1/22

Fifty for Virat Kohli

The India No.3 has been in a great touch since getting a century against Bangladesh in the last innings. He played some impressive shorts in this innings and gets to his 65th ODI fifty with a six whipped over mid-wicket off Dhananjaya de Silva.

Shreyas Iyer falls to DDS

Dhananjaya de Silva flighted into a length on the leg stump. After sitting low, Iyer swept it to find the only fielder positioned, Avishka Fernando, at the backward square leg. This comes after thumping a huge six off Wanindu Hasaranga in the previous over.

Shreyas Iyer 28 (24 balls; 3 fours and a six)
