'Fifty dedicated to Sara,' Fan trolls Shubman Gill amid dating rumour with bollywood actor

IND vs SL 1st ODI: Team India opener Shubman Gill continued his brilliant run of form in ODI cricket scoring his fifth ODI half-century on Tuesday (January 10) against Sri Lanka. Gill was dismissed on 70 (60) after guiding India to a fiery start alongside captain Rohit Sharma. The right-hander was trapped Leg Before Wicket (LBW) by Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka, which brought an end to a fine innings. After his fifty, fans on social media re-ignited his dating rumour with Bollywood star Sara Ali Khan.

Virat Kohli looked at his very best again while slamming his 45th ODI century and second consecutive ton in the format while captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill slammed fifties as they propelled India to a massive 373/7 against Sri Lanka in the first match of the three-match series at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, on Tuesday.

On a flat pitch with a lighting fast outfield, Rohit and Gill made 83 and 70 respectively while sharing a 143-run opening stand to set the tone for a big total, before Kohli carried forward the mantle with his 87-ball 113, hitting 12 fours and a six for his ninth ODI century against Sri Lanka, going past the legendary Sachin Tendulkar for the milestone.

The most delightful of them was Gill cutting twice and slicing off debutant Dilshan Madushanka for a hat-trick of fours while Rohit was assured in his pulls off Rajitha as India got 75 off power-play. Rohit also survived two DRS calls on lbws before reaching his 47th ODI fifty with a sweep through backward square leg for four off leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga.

Brief Scores: India 373/7 in 50 overs (Virat Kohli 113, Rohit Sharma 83; Kasun Rajitha 3/88, Dasun Shanaka 1/22) against Sri Lanka. (With IANS inputs)
