Recent achievements

The Indian team very recently crushed Sri Lanka by 5-0 in the ODI series for the first time in their cricketing history. They completed a six wicket in final ODI at Colombo where Sri Lanka succumbed to another morale sapping defeat.

Yet again, Virat showed a tremendous character as he applied himself after the team lost wickets in quick successions. He stitched a partnership with Manish Pandey and Kedar Jadhav which eventually helped India get over the line with utmost ease.

The Chase Master being synonymous to Virat, he then equalled former Australian skipper Ricky Pointing’s tally of 30 ODI hundreds being just below the great Sachin Tendulkar. His phenomenal numbers led an individual to think that this lad emulates Sachin and has the ability to go past him.

Next assignment

Team India has already tasted the word ‘domination’ on the island as they whitewashed Sri Lanka both in Test and ODI series. For one final time in this long series, India will take on Lankans for one-off T20 International which is scheduled to be played on Wednesday. Virat & Co. will look to continue their winning run in the shortest format as well.
