Ravi Shastri Explains Why India Needed 'Sri Lanka Scare' In Asia Cup 2023

The Indian cricket team romped into the final of the Asia Cup 2023 with a 41-run win over Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Though the victory margin might suggest a big win, Rohit Sharma and Co. were given a mighty scare while defending a low 213-run total. Sri Lanka kept stitching small but crucial stands in between that kept India under pressure. However, Indian bowlers led by Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav gave their all to snatch a memorable win.

Kuldeep Yadav Breaks Anil Kumble's Record As He Reaches 150 Wickets Mark In ODIs

India's spin-bowling sensation, Kuldeep Yadav reached the 150 ODI wickets mark on Tuesday, becoming the fastest Indian spinner to do so in just 88 One Day Internationals. In the process, Kuldeep went on to shatter the record of the legendary Anil Kumble. The previous fastest Indian spinner to the milestone was Kumble, having reached the milestone in 106 matches. Kuldeep accomplished this milestone against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup Super Four match on Tuesday. Kuldeep was absolutely unplayable in the match, taking four wickets for 43 runs in 9.3 overs at an economy rate of 4.52.

India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday crossed the milestone of 10,000 runs in ODI cricket. The 36-year-old achieved the feat during an Asia Cup Super 4 match against Sri Lanka in Colombo. From playing as a middle-order batter in his early days to becoming the fastest opener to reach the landmark of 8,000 ODI runs, Rohit has come a long way since making his debut in 2007. During his initial years with the Indian team, Rohit found it difficult to crack the code, until legendary India captain MS Dhoni converted him to an opener.

Rohit Sharma's Absolute Praise For Hardik Pandya After India's Win Over Sri Lanka

It was Kuldeep Yadav who bagged the most wickets for India in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash against Sri Lanka but he wasn't the only bowler who impressed skipper Rohit Sharma. At the post-match presentation ceremony, Rohit extolled allrounder Hardik Pandya for a phenomenal display with the ball against the Lankans, especially as the pitch was getting better for the batters to play as the day progressed. Hardik stepped up with the ball when the game was slipping from their hands and India were desperate for a wicket.

India captain Rohit Sharma has the reputation of being one of the finest fielders in the game. As India took on Sri Lanka in the Super 4 match on Tuesday, Rohit's catching abilities came in handy to the team. The Lankans truly tested the Indian team, first with the ball then with the bat. Despite India's early success with the ball, the hosts dug deep and threatened the visitors' progression to the final, especially till Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka was in the middle. It was Ravindra Jadeja who got rid of Shanaka, all thanks to a brilliant catch from Rohit Sharma. The importance of the wicket can be understood by seeing the sort of celebration Virat Kohli had with the skipper afterwards.

"Knew Wellalage Would...": Sri Lanka Captain Dasun Shanaka On Spinner's Five-For Against India

Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka said that he was confident that the young left-arm orthodox spinner Dunith Wellalage would do something special against India after watching his performance against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2023. India's bowling attack combined to end Sri Lanka's 13 ODI match unbeaten streak and seal their spot in the final of the Asia Cup 2023 with a game to spare, as the hosts bundled out for 172 chasing a paltry target at the R Premadasa Stadium on Tuesday. While spinners from either side dominated the game, the pacers, too, played a part in India's 41-run victory over the co-hosts.
