Centuries from Virat Kohli and Shubmam Gill put India in control of the proceedings against Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday. While Gill (116) slammed his 2nd ODI ton, Kohli scored his 46 in the 50-overs format, and his 74th overall. While the Indian team had plenty to celebrate in their innings, Sri Lanka suffered a massive blow as two of their players collided with each other while trying to save a boundary.
