Batting first, Sri Lanka made a respectable 287, giving impressions of a consolation win at least, before India came in to bat.

And when they did, the situation became even more pathetic for the hosts as Rohit and Rahane reached the pavilion before the score crossed 15.

Then came Virat Kohli, who partnered with Rayudu and brought the score to 150, before the latter departed.

This is perhaps the earliest instance when Virat dedicated a ton to his then-girlfriend Anushka Sharma, as India played Sri Lanka in the fifth and last ODI of the series. India had already won the series 4 - 0, with Rohit Sharma's 264 from the previous game gathering all the attention.

Wickets then continued to fall at regular intervals, and he decided to accelerate, immediately switching to top-gear as it started raining fours and sixes.

India eventually crossed the target with eight balls to spare and three wickets in hand, as the star batsman made yet another remarkable hundred in the presence of his beau.

He ended the day at 139 not out, scoring the winning runs with a four and handing Sri Lanka a 5 - 0 whitewash. He was also elected man-of-the-match.
