Kohli stood firm after the duo’s departure and, despite losing partners at the other end, took to the opposition attack. His knock, laced with one six and twelve fours, wasn’t chanceless by any means as he was dropped twice - once on 52 by Kusal Mendis and then dropped on 81 by captain Dasun Shanaka. After having a lean patch across formats, Kohli has returned in style, scoring back-to-back centuries in the format to end 2022 and start 2023. India set a colossal 374-run target for the visitors, the foundation for which was set with a rollicking 143-run opening stand between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. V Kohli (IND)

However, the appeal was withdrawn after Rohit had a word with the bowler.“I had no idea Shami did that (run-out); he was batting on 98. There was a little drama in the 50th over of the match. Underfire [KL Rahul](https://indianexpress.com/about/kl-rahul/) (39 off 29b; 4×4, 1×6)) also could not make it big and was bowled around the legs after being deceived by a slower one from Rajitha. Pathum Nissanka (72) and Dhananjaya de Silva (47) put on a quick 72-run stand for the fourth wicket, but their fighting alliance was broken by Shami, who drew the edge, and Rahul grabbed a regulation catch. Umran then strangled Charitha Asalanka (23) down the leg side. Vice-captain Hardik Pandya joined the act as Chamika Karunarathne charged down the track and ended up driving it straight to Rohit Sharma, patrolling at mid-on. India lacked the finishing touch in the last ten overs as they only managed to get 79 runs and lost four wickets. Kohli was dropped twice — on 52 and 81, and Kasun Rajitha was the unlucky bowler both the time. It was not Kohli’s most dominating knock but he showed signs of returning to his best in his favourite format. The next fifty came in just 38 balls, before he was dismissed in the 49th over, when he was trying to up the ante and Kusan Mendis, who had dropped a regulation catch earlier, grabbed a skier and Rajitha finally had his man. He scored his second ODI century and put on an unbeaten 100-run stand with Kasun Rajitha for the ninth wicket. At the end of the powerplay, India was 75 without losing any sweat.
