India vs Sri Lanka 2017: 3rd ODI, 5 talking points

#1 Rohit Sharma overcomes his Lanka hoodoo with spectacular hundred

Rohit Sharma looked in ominous touch as he composed his maiden hundred in Lanka

With Akila Dananjaya weaving his magic yet again, India needed their Hitman to step up and convert his half-century to a hundred. He had failed to do that the last time around but this time there was no stopping Rohit Sharma. The Mumbaikar reached his half-century with three fours in a row off Dushmantha Chameera before he manipulated the Lankan spinners with nimble feet and swift hands.

In the company of MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma grew in confidence and there was no let off for the Sri Lankan bowlers. He started reading Dananjaya quite well and at one time stepped out to nail him over the fence for a maximum. His first hundred in Sri Lanka came in 118 balls and it all but sealed India's series win.
