It was MS Dhoni again who along with Rohit Sharma helped India take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. MS Dhoni started from where he left off the other night, he remained 67 not out and Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten on a breathtaking 124 not out. Sri Lanka had won the toss and elected to bat first. Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals and managed to compile 217, which did not look good enough against a star studded Indian line up. Thirimanne scored 80 which was the highest. From the Indian point of view, Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers who picked up a career best 5 wickets. That also meant he received the man of the match award.
After the Indian win, Twitter hailed the knock played by Rohit Sharma but also what caught the eye of the viewers was when MS Dhoni went off to sleep when play was stopped due to bottles being thrown on the ground. Twitter found Dhoni going off to sleep quite funny, but they also commended the partnership that was formed between MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. Here is a compilation of the best tweets, hope some of them make your ribs tickled. Here they go…
