IND V SL 1st ODI: India spin Sri Lanka out for 216

The Indian spin troika of Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel and Kedar Jadhav ran through the Sri Lankan middle order to bowl them out for 216 in the first ODI at Dambulla.

If one was hoping for a turn around with the change in format, then Sunday was surely not the ideal day. Some fine spin bowling and a combination of reckless batting saw the hosts lose 9 wickets for 77 runs.

It looked like a good toss to lose for Sri Lanka as openers Niroshan Dickwella and Danushka Gunathilaka gave them a perfect start by stitching a 74 run partnership just shy under a run a ball. 

The introduction of Chahal in the 12th over of the Lankan innings saw a change in momentum as the leg spinner bowled a couple of tight overs. The pressure of being tied down got to a well settled Gunathilaka. He mistimed a reverse sweep and got hold out at cover for 35. 

But Kohli had more up his sleeves. He played a masterstroke by bringing Kedar Jadhav, who now cannot be called a mere part-timer into the attack in the 21st over.
