Skipper Rohit Sharma played on a different 'track' from his other colleagues, who were thoroughly exposed against quality spin bowling as Sri Lanka managed to eke out a tie against India in a low-scoring but thrilling opening ODI on Friday. (Match Blog | More Cricket News)
Chasing 231 for victory, skipper Rohit smashed 58 off 47 balls as all the other batters never looked comfortable against an army of Lankan spinners as skipper Charith Asalanka got wickets off back-to-back deliveries to play his part in the 44th tie in the history of ODI cricket.
Despite a decent middle-order partnership between KL Rahul and Axar Patel, India never looked at ease in the game and eventually tied the game against Sri Lanka, who will be buoyed by their performance going into the 2nd ODI.
