Two 100-run partnerships in a chase of 230 with seven wickets, that&#8217;s quite bizarre. When you&#8217;re 110 for 1, in a chase of 230, you want to give everyone a chance to bat. We don&#8217;t have any regrets. If I had gone at No. 3, I would have still missed that ball because he (Akila Dananjaya) was bowling that well. We thought he was the offspinner with a good legbreak, but he got four wickets off googlies. We&#8217;ll be more careful next time. Credit to him for pitching the ball in the right areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lankan captain Upul Tharanga said: \u201cDisappointed, we came really close. We didn&#8217;t capitalise again. They had a good start. Once they needed 100 runs, we tried everything. We just couldn&#8217;t get the breakthrough. Our bowling and fielding has improved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Akila Dananjaya, who was the Man of the Match said: &#8220;The offspin was working, so continuously used the variations. I came back to the hotel at around 11PM last evening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-34063\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Virat-Kohli-PC-Dharamsala.jpg\" alt=\"Virat Kohli PC Dharamsala\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" width=\"520\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Virat-Kohli-PC-Dharamsala.jpg 520w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Virat-Kohli-PC-Dharamsala-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Virat-Kohli-PC-Dharamsala-150x106.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/>Pallekele: Though India started off their chase on a good note with their openers &#8212; Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan &#8212; &nbsp;adding 109 runs for the first wicket, Akila Dananjaya came up with a dream spell by taking six wickets that reduced India to 131 for 7.
