India skipper Rohit Sharma has won praise for withdrawing a 'Mankad' run-out appeal in its ODI against Sri Lanka. 9WWOS
"We cannot get him out like that. We wanted to get him out, we thought we will get him out, but that was not something we thought off. But again, hats off to him, he played really well."
"The real winner was the sportsmanship of Rohit Sharma for refusing to take the run out. I doff my cap to you!," Jayasuriya wrote on Twitter. The wisdom of Sri Lanka's decision to bowl first looked doubtful from the start as Sharma and Gill put on 143 runs off 118 balls for the first wicket. It was Kohli’s ninth ODI hundred against Sri Lanka, overtaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record of eight centuries for India against the same opposition. Kohli is also now four short of Tendulkar’s all-time record of 49 ODI hundreds. Overall, it was Kohli’s 73rd international century.
