3. THE CAPTAIN’s CONTRIBUTION
While Shikhar Dhawan without a doubt remained the Hero today, he did receive a good amount of support from the skipper. Virat Kohli accompanied his Delhi pal in the journey to the victory. Scoring 82 in 70 deliveries, Kohli’s vigor was parallel to that of Dhawan and their partnership indeed became a Sunday treat for the viewers. Not to forget the direct hit by Kohli to send Kapugedera back to the pavilion earlier in the day.
The tally stands 1-0 in the 5 ODI series. 2nd ODI is to be held on 24th August 2017 at Pallekele.
