#1 Virat Kohli takes India to series whitewash

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Many wondered why Virat Kohli opted to play this game with India having already swept the series 4-0. Lokesh Rahul was left out but it might have been ideal for Kohli to sit out instead. But the Indian skipper wanted to make a statement with a series whitewash and wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away.
He strode in confidently and led from the front, blasting a 30th ODI hundred and going level with Ricky Ponting. His team became the first to beat Sri Lanka 5-0 in Sri Lanka in an ODI series. The intent on his face was there for everyone to see as he gave Lanka no chance whatsoever.
