Chasing 251, India were tested early after losing quick wickets, but Kohli anchored the innings with supreme control and composure. Manoj Tiwary’s dismissal briefly swung momentum Sri Lanka’s way, yet Kohli found the perfect partner in Suresh Raina, whose third half-century of the series again came in a winning cause for India. The pair survived moments of fortune — dropped catches, missed run-outs, and overturned appeals — but once settled, they dictated terms completely. Kohli’s innings was a lesson in adaptability. He began cautiously, rebuilt after early losses, and then shifted gears seamlessly during the batting Powerplay. His powerful strokeplay against pace and spin, especially through extra cover and midwicket, crushed Sri Lanka’s hopes. Raina played the ideal supporting role before launching the late assault, ensuring the required rate never spiralled out of control. Earlier, Sri Lanka’s innings had promised more after a solid opening stand, but India’s part-time bowlers — led surprisingly by Manoj Tiwary — triggered a collapse that kept the hosts to a manageable total. Despite late resistance, Sri Lanka were left to rue missed chances in the field and an inability to break the Kohli-Raina partnership. Kohli’s century — his eighth in a successful chase — capped another calm, ruthless pursuit and underlined India’s growing dominance in Sri Lanka, as they secured their third consecutive bilateral series win on the island. A detailed recap of a pressure chase, momentum shifts, and the rise of Virat Kohli as the ultimate ODI finisher. #viratkohli #indvssl #chasemaster #highlights #thriller
