India teaches Sri Lanka a cricket lesson in despair

India won the first ODI against Sri Lanka by 7 wickets. Sri Lanka scored 262 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 50 overs.

In reply India chased down the target by 3 wickets at the end of 36.4 overs. Skipper Shikhar Dhawan scored an unbeaten 86 off 95 balls to lead India to victory. Dhananjaya de Silva took 2 wickets and Lakshan Sadakan took 1 wicket.

With the arrival of the new selection committee chairman to the Sri Lankan cricket team, which had long been in the usual rhythm of these bitter defeats, he adapted them to the "False Cricket" or high-speed batting pattern.

In yesterday's match, India made the Sri Lankan cricket team see the Fallas cricket from the beginning to the end.
