To watch all LIVE cricket League read this post very carefully and go to my teligram channel to watch A massive total put on the board by the Indians, but Sri Lanka know they aren't out of the contest as yet. The pitch is flat, the outfield lightning fast and the dew is expected to settle in, if they start well, we could be in a for a riveting chase. The hosts were off to a great start as Rohit and Gill added 143 for the 1st wicket. Both made half-centuries and that set the tone for a big score. Virat Kohli then made most of the platform, there were useful cameos from Shreyas and KL, but the wheels did fall off towards the end as the tailenders struggled to find the boundaries in the last couple of overs. Kohli's dismissal eventually costing his team at least 10-15 extra runs, but his 113 was magical - he was dropped twice and he did make Sri Lanka pay. Can the visitors recover and do well with the bat? Back for the chase shortly..Welcome back for the run chase folks! The pitch looks a really good surface to bat on. With the dew coming in, batting will only get easier, and the fielders might struggle in the outfield. Gripping the ball isn't going to be easy either. Let's see if the Indian bowlers manage to negate these aspects and make the most of the scoreboard pressure. The start of the chase is not far away. Mohammad Shami will bowl the first over of the innings. Here we go!Virat Kohli: I have had bit of a break, and a couple of practice sessions coming into this game, so I was fresh after that Bangladesh tour. I was excited for the home season to start. The openers allowed me to get into the game and I tried to keep my strike rate in check. I was happy I was able to maintain the tempo and we finished with 370. I would take those (dropped chances) any day. Luck plays a big part, you need to thank god on such evenings. These evenings are important, pretty aware of that. Thankful that I made the most of that luck presented to me. I helped the team get 20 runs extra, rather than 350. It's going to be the same thing. Someone will have to score a 150, or 140 to chase this down. But it also gives our bowlers a chance to bowl with dew coming into play. I am quite aware of what I eat, diet is the most important thing at this age. That keeps me in prime shape. That helps me give my 100 percent for the team.
