The first Test between India and Sri Lanka is being played in Mohali. This is Virat Kohli’s 100th international Test match. India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat.
Batting first, India declared their first innings at 574 for eight. Ravindra Jadeja, who scored a huge century for India, was unbeaten on 175. Rishabh Pund, who batted as usual, scored 96 off 97 balls. Ashwin scored 61 and the goalie scored 45.
Virat Kohli, who has not scored a century for the past two years, disappointed Klein Boldaki with a 45-run knock off Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Embletonia as fans waited for him to score his 100th Test.
A fan had predicted on Twitter how, when and whose ball Virat Kohli would bowl in this match. In that particular person’s Twitter post, Virat Kohli posted that he would bowl the ball to Embletonia for 45 in his 100th Test.
Similarly, Virat Kohli was bowled out for 45 by Embletonia. That netizen’s accurate prediction of Virat Kohli’s wicket has come as a surprise to many, but also to some as fixing skeptics.
