Both the batters put on a partnership of 121 runs before the India skipper was sent back to the pavilion after scoring 56 runs off 49 balls with six fours and four sixes in his innings.
It gave us a good time to prepare and now we’ll look to play well: Rohit Sharma
The rain interrupted the play after the completion of 24.1 overs of the Indian innings. After a long delay of more than three hours, the match was called off due to persistent rain at the R. Premadasa Stadium, in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The match will restart tomorrow, that is September 11 from 24.1 overs. After 24.1 overs, the Men in Blue have scored 147 runs with the loss of two wickets.
Former India skipper, Virat Kohli is batting on eight runs from 16 balls, and star India batter KL Rahul is batting on 17 runs from 28 balls which included two fours in his innings. For the Men in Green, one wicket each was snapped by Shaheen Afridi and Shadab Khan in their respecxtive spells five overs and 6.1 overs where they have conceded 37 runs and 45 runs, respectively in the Asia Cup 2023 game.
“Looking to bat first. There will be a challenge upfront, but the way we guys batted last time around gives us confidence. Every game is important for us, but one thing at a time to focus on. (On rain delays) That’s the nature of the sport, it gave us a good time to prepare and now we’ll look to play well. Two changes – Bumrah is back and one forced change, Shreyas Iyer just got a back spasm so KL Rahul comes in for him,” Rohit was quoted as saying during the toss.
