"Next Time We Play...": KL Rahul Fires Warning To Sri Lanka Star Dunith Wellalage

India emerged triumphant in their second Super 4 match of the Asia Cup against Sri Lanka, but not before spinner Dunith Wellalage ran riot with the ball.

India booked a spot in the Asia Cup 2023 final by defeating Sri Lanka in their second Super 4 match, but it looked like the hosts might just scrape through and secure a win, considering the way the first innings went.

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.

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.
