India vs Sri Lanka: Virat Kohli brought up his 74th international ton by scoring 166 runs in the 3rd ODI. IANS. Published: 16 Jan 2023, 10:40 AM IST.

The outswinger has been working well and I try to slip in the wobble-seam delivery. But the way Siraj has come in and done with the new ball has been fantastic. Ever since I came back from the break, I am feeling good and I don't have desperation to get to a milestone," Kohli said in the post-match presentation ceremony. Today I was happy to be batting out there and in that space, I end up playing good cricket. I have played for the right reasons and that has helped. In his third century in the last four ODI innings, Kohli hit 13 fours and eight sixes, feasting on a hapless bowling attack.

On Sunday (January 15), India defeated Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI by record 317 runs and whitewashed the visitors in the three-match series.

The Delhi-born cricketer was the top scorer for India in the three-match rubber with 283 runs. The shot by the right-handed batter became a major talking point on social media, and the fans were thrilled to see the ‘Mahi touch’ in his ton. Before getting to his hundred, Kohli just had hit one six, but he went beast mode after reaching the three-figure mark and added seven more to his tally.

Gill, Kohli and Siraj dazzle as India smash Sri Lanka by record 317 ... (ESPNcricinfo.com)

Defending 390, India bowled the visitors out for 73 to complete a 3-0 series whitewash.

Catches kept going down, balls kept getting fumbled, loose balls kept arriving, and Kohli went from zero sixes in the first 40 overs to eight by the end of the innings, the Eventually he got an lbw decision in his favour with the last ball of his allotment of 10, but Rajitha had inside-edged it, and reviewed successfully. And once Kohli is fresh and set in the death overs, the pressure on the fielding side is extreme. That the pitch had become even slower and more difficult to score off was apparent in the way Shreyas Iyer struggled for timing. A brief lull was then broken with two sixes and a four from Rohit in the 10th over, bowled by Kasun Rajitha. During his hundred in the first ODI, Kohli seemed to run out of juice towards the end. He took 34 balls to get the 48 runs needed for his hundred while Kohli settled into an upgraded version of the already efficient anchor he was: scoring at more than a run a ball without taking any risks. Kohli walked in, and cover-drove the second ball he faced for four. After the slow start, Gill followed a Rohit six with four consecutive fours in the sixth over, bowled by Lahiru Kumara. [Virat Kohli](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/virat-kohli-253802)and [Shubman Gill](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/shubman-gill-1070173)powered India to 390 on a slow and seemingly lifeless track before the ball started hooping around under lights. The lack of depth in the Sri Lanka bowling showed, which meant the batters could afford to not go hard against Wanindu Hasaranga. In the home stretch, he turned into a sprinter.

IND vs SL 2023: 3 takeaways for India from the recent ODI series (Sportskeeda)

In their first 50-over assignment of 2023, Team India registered an emphatic clean-sweep (3-0) in the recently-concluded three-match ODI series against Sri ...

The right-hander clobbered his next 66 runs in just 25 balls at a stupendous strike rate of 264.00. He commenced the calendar year of 2023 on a terrific note, smashing his 73rd international century in Guwahati. Kohli had some luck on his side in the opening ODI. The fact that he concluded the series with 283 runs at an average of 141.50 is utterly remarkable. He ended the series as the highest wicket-taker with nine scalps at a splendid average of just above 10. He scored 116 runs in just 97 balls in the third ODI on Sunday. Unfortunately for Kishan, he will likely have to wait a bit longer to get his next chance in the 50-over format. He gave up a few chances early on and then capitalized on the opposition's mistakes. The right-hander left no stone unturned in grabbing his opportunity with both hands in the recently-concluded series. Gill began the series with a well-made 60-ball 70 in Guwahati. The Men in Blue clinched the dead rubber in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, January 15, by a record margin of 317 runs after victories in Guwahati and Kolkata. The Punjab lad, with his sumptuous drives and flicks, gave India rapid starts in all three ODIs and also looked poised for a big score in each game.
