India Beat Sri Lanka by 168 runs in fourth ODI

COLOMBO: Skipper Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma hit quickfire centuries to set up a 168-run win for India in the fourth one-day international against Sri Lanka on Thursday.

The batsmen shared 219 keeps running for the second wicket off only 168 balls to enable India to post a forcing 375-5 after the guests chose to bat at the R. Premadasa stadium. 

Sri Lanka scarcely set up a battle in the wake of losing four early wickets for 68 runs, collapsing up for 207 out of 42.4 overs to surrender a 4-0 prompt India in the five-coordinate arrangement. 

Angelo Mathews top-scored with 70 out of a generally dreary show by the ambushed has. 

Debutant Shardul Thakur gave India the primary leap forward when he had opener Niroshan Dickwella got by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, playing his 300th one-day-universal. 

The batsman was given not-out by the on-field umpire but rather India chose to audit the choice and TV replays demonstrated the ball had brushed the bat. 

Sri Lanka would never truly recoup from the early blow and neglected to construct the organizations which were expected to pursue the forcing target. 

The feature of the amusement was the association amongst Kohli and Sharma. 

Kohli hit 17 fours and two sixes in his captivating innings which scrounged up 131 off 96 balls. 

Sharma (104) pounded 11 fours and three sixes of every a similarly engaging innings off 88 balls.
