Dhawan hits century, India eye huge total

June 08, 2017 18:07

India 243-3 (42 ovs) vs SL | Scorecard

Dhoni flicks a full delivery from Lakmal for a single after initially deciding to charge for the second run before he turns it down.

Dhawan drives the next ball through the covers for two runs before he smashes the third ball powerfully down the ground for a four, beating the man at long-off.

Dhawan shuffles across his stumps and looks for the paddle scoop but is unable to make proper connection for a single to deep square leg.

India have seven wickets in hand and no doubt they are going on an all out attack against the inexperienced Sri Lankan bowling.

Dhawan walks across the stumps before helping a short ball from Pradeep over the fine leg fence for a six.

Dhoni joins in the party with successive boundaries through midwicket and covers as 16 runs come from the 42nd over.
