Virat Kohli's epic 166 fires India to 390/5 against Sri Lanka in final ODI

Virat Kohli strolled his way to his third hundred in four innings after Shubman Gill's sublime century as India amassed 390 for five against Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI here on Sunday. Skipper Rohit Sharma (42 off 49) and Gill (116 off 97) laid the platform for a massive total with a 95-run opening partnership before Kohli (166 not out off 110) did the needful with his 74th international hundred and 46th in the 50-over format. Kohli, who had ended a nearly three year wait for an international hundred in the Asia Cup last year, is back to his best and has been scoring hundreds at will in a World Cup year. The 34-year-old is now only three short of equalling Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 centuries. What is remarkable is his conversion ratio as he got to his 46th ton in 259 innings while Tendulkar had taken 452 innings to get to 49 centuries. Before Kohli took over, Gill had played some high quality strokes en route to his second ODI hundred. The 23-run over from Lahiru Ku

Maliwal also posted blurred screenshots of some of the comments.

Virat Kohli, Rohit sharma will play massive role in ODI WC 2023: Gambhir

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir feels seniors like skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who are great players of spin, will play a massive role in the ODI World Cup, to be held in the country later this year. Gambhir said India need to identify fearless players and have a mixture of cricketers in the 50-over format. "First, you need to identify the players who got that fearless approach and probably in a format like 50 overs you need to have a mixture of every kind of player. There are players who can anchor their innings. Change in role has also made a huge difference," Gambhir said Star Sports show 'Road to World Cup Glory'. "I feel people like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and all those guys who can anchor their innings, who probably can play spin really well will play a massive role the coming World Cup." The cricketer-turned politician said the introduction of two balls from two ends has changed the template in ODIs. "During that time we had only one new ball, now we've got t
