India registered the biggest ever win in the history of the One-Day Internationals in the third and final ODI game against Sri Lanka on Sunday at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. Team India thrashed Sri Lanka by a massive margin of 317 runs to register a 3-0 whitewash in the series. And the world witnessed a vintage Virat Kohli tearing apart the Sri Lankan bowlers.
It was a perfect win for India, as both batters and bowlers performed brilliantly. Batting first, India made a huge score of 390/5 in 50 overs. Virat scored an unbeaten century and made 166 not out off 110 balls, with 13 fours and 8 sixes, while Shubman Gill also scored his second ODI century and made 116 off 97 balls, with 14 fours and two sixes. Meanwhile, Virat scored his third century in his last four ODI innings, and it was the 46th ODI century of his career.
He scored the fastest 150 on Indian soil, and now he is just three centuries behind Sachin Tendulkar’s tally of 49 ODI hundreds. Many former cricketers and experts praised the former Indian captain for his brilliant century. However, on Twitter, a Pakistani fan took an indirect dig at Virat and said that he is a “home bully. He also added that if Babar Azam had gotten to play on such flat tracks then, he would have scored 25 ODI centuries as of now.
However, it didn’t go well with the Indian fans, and they didn’t hold back and gave him back in his own way. Some fans also reminded him of the flat tracks Pakistan prepared for the home test series against Australia, England, and New Zealand.
