Kohli’s 166 powers India to 390/5 against SL in 3rd ODI

Thiruvananthapuram, 15/1: Opener Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli hit fluent centuries as India posted 390-5 against Sri Lanka in their bid to sweep the series in the third one-day international on Sunday.

 

 

Gill made 116 and then the in-form Kohli smashed an unbeaten 166 off 110 balls — his third ODI hundred in the last four innings — to boost India’s mammoth total in Thiruvananthapuram.

 

The 131-run second-wicket stand between Gill and Kohli stood out after India elected to bat first.

 

Gill put on 95 runs for the opening wicket with skipper Rohit Sharma, who made 42, to set the tone for the team’s batting domination.
