India vs Sri Lanka - Watch: Rohit Sharma's In-Your-Face Celebration After Long Wait For Breakthrough Ends

The India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup Super 4 match turned out to be quite a low-scoring thriller. After India were all out for 213, with Sri Lanka spinners Dunith Wellalage and Charith Asalanka taking nine wickets among them, Indian bowlers struck back. It was a challenging contest for both side. Sri Lanka lost three early wickets but a steady stand between Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka frustrated India. However, Kuldeep Yadav broke the stand in the 18th over with the scoreboard reading 68/4. KL Rahul affected a brilliant stumping and Rohit broke into an aggressive celebration.

Straighter Run-Up, Aggressive Rhythm Key To My ODI Success: Kuldeep Yadav

Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav believes tweaks in his technique, including a straighter run-up and an aggressive rhythm, has helped him to improve his bowling and achieve success in ODI cricket. The 28-year-old has taken 27 wickets from 14 matches this year, the highest by an Indian bowler in ODIs. "After the (knee) surgery (last year), my run-up has become much straighter, and rhythm has become aggressive. My hand used to fall over but that has been controlled and now it (hand) is facing the batsman,” said Kuldeep in the post-match press conference.

A one-day match that spilled over to two days, due to rain in Colombo, provided the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team an opportunity to test their mettle against world No. 2 ODI side Pakistan. And, they ticked the all right boxes. The India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash has always been billed as the 'Big One'.
