India took on Sri Lanka in the must win game on Tuesday as captain Rohit Sharma came to open the innings after Sri Lanka invited India to bat first.
Rohit Sharma continuing his fantastic form smashed half century in just 32 deliveries. However, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli failed to make an impact and dismissed on the score 7 and 0 respectively. Suryakumar who was phenomenal in match against Hong Kong looked a bit motionless against Lankans. Surya departed after scoring 34 runs off 29 deliveries.
But Rohit Sharma continue to show his wrath on Lankan bowlers and finished his innings on 72 runs in 41 balls and became the leading run-scorer in Asia Cup history surpassing his predecessor Sachin Tendulkar. By the help of Rohit’s fifty and Rishab Pant & Hardik’s cameo of 17 runs India put on a total of 173 runs on the board.
But the moment which caught everyone’s attention came after Suryakumar Yadav’s dismissal. A fan posted a video on twitter in which Rohit Sharma asking Hardik Pandya to go to bat above Rishabh Pant. In the last game against Pakistan, Hardik argued with Rohit for not sending him above Rishabh Pant. Rishabh Pant who was ready to go to bat after Surya’s dismissal looked disappointed and bit sad when Hardik was asked to bat above him.
