Sharma was Impressive
India recorded an important win last time out when beating Sri Lanka on Saturday in a thrilling encounter. They were expected to get the job done and all major bookmakers had them picked but they certainly didn’t get things easy from an opponent who looked determined to make a nuisance of themselves. The final scoreboard read India 265-3 against Sri Lanka’s 264-7, leaving a seven wickets difference. Close, but the better side won in the end and fans enjoyed what was a great match. Is there more to come from this India side? Saturday’s performance suggests so.
Rohit Sharma was the best player on the park during that win and smashed his way to a fifth century when taking the game by the scruff of the neck. That win meant they finished top of their World Cup group and that was little surprise as they dominated from start to finish. Sharma has been behind everything good about his team’s performances in England this summer and on Saturday he became the first player to score five centuries in a World Cup. Impressive, but we really don’t think he’s finished, and it would come as no surprise to see him add to his tally, either on Tuesday or later in the tournament.
Speaking to the press at the end of the match, winning captain Virat Kohli credited his teammates for getting the job done and playing good cricket along the way. Commenting on the confidence that exists in his squad at the minute, Kohli explained everyone is very happy with how things are set up for the semis but stressed they were eager to avoid the risk of becoming one dimensional and they wanted to show different sides to their game.
