But then the unthinkable happened!
Yesterday AB De Villiers gone for a duck, today Virat Kohli gone for a duck.
— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket)
Now that is a milestone worth celebrating for Sri Lanka!
Tomorrow declared a national holiday by the Sri Lankan government following Sri Lanka's dismissal of Kohli for a duck.

Sri Lankan government to keep Nuwan Pradeep's finger in museum after he dismissed Kohli on Duck.

Dhawan fans coming out of their caves after his century!
*Shikhar Dhawan's fans today*

After Dhawan got out, it was the Dhoni show!
62nd half century by MS DHONI. The fourth most half centuries by an Indian in ODIs next to the trio of Sachin, Ganguly and Dravid.
— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket)
Those Sixes Aren't Sixes, Those Are Tight Slaps On The Face Of MS Dhoni Haters.
— Sir Jadeja (@SirJadeja)
Well put!
These days India starting this like a Test match in the beginning.
— Sushma 🇮🇳🏏 (@CricketLuvInd)
Middle overs like ODI and Death overs like T20 !
Sri Lanka started their chase strongly!
The reason why Virat Kohli is allowing Sri Lankan batsman Gunathilaka to play because dANUSHKA.
— Godman Chikna (@Madan_Chikna)
Strong vibes from Gunathilaka. Plays with a straight bat, much akin to what Sanga did.
— Rehne Do (@SastaLoha)
But then Indian fielding happened!
MS Dhoni behind the stumps.
— Prasad RS (@PrasadrsTOI)
Gunathilaka trying to get back into the crease...
— The-Lying-Lama (@KyaUkhaadLega)
Sri Lanka is 'running out' of batsmen.
— The-Lying-Lama (@KyaUkhaadLega)
If Dhoni says out then umpire's decision is just waste of time.
— Mthn (@Being_Humor)
SL Coach: Don't give your wickets to the bowlers.
— Keh Ke Peheno (@coolfunnytshirt)
SL Batsmen: Ok! We will get run out!
This cracked me up!
2G < 3G < 4G < DHONI G. 🔥💯
— अजय (@Law_Purush)
However, we also have fielders like Jadhav!
Kedar Jadhav has done some serious damage with his fielding.
— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer)
The missing element!
Very well played Lanka.. sadly there was no Vibhishan to tell us the right spot to hit.
— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer)
It hurts when all the good efforts go in vain! :(
First time India lost after a century stand from Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan in ODIs. Won all during their previous 9 100+ stands.
— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats)
This gives us hope!
5) India winning Champions Trophy?
