India Vs Sri Lanka, 1st ODI: Dhawan guides Men In Blue to historic win: Statistical Highlights

Dambulla, Aug 21: Riding over Shikhar Dhawan's whirlwind century, Team India on Sunday (August 20) registered a nine-wicket win against Sri Lanka in the first of the five-match series at Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium here.

Virat Kohli and his men carried their domination from the Test series into the One-day format and achieved its biggest ever win in terms of overs left while chasing a 200-plus total.

The dominant visitors overhauled the 217-run target with 127 balls to spare with Dhawan annihilating the Lankan attack with his brutal 132-run knock which came off just 90 balls.

Dhawan punished the bowlers with 21 boundaries, including three sixes, finishing the match in a jiffy. He brought up his 11th ODI hundred off only 71 balls.

The left-hander raised an unbeaten 197-run partnership for the second wicket with skipper Virat Kohli, who scored 82 off 70 balls.

Sri Lanka after being invited to bat enjoyed its best starts since India's arrival in the country but suffered a batting collapse to be all out for 216 in 43.2 overs, losing nine wickets for just 77 runs.
