NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli fell short of matching Sachin Tendulkar's all-time record of 49 one-day international centuries, but his contribution assisted India in setting a formidable total of 357-8 against Sri Lanka, as the unbeaten World Cup hosts inched closer to securing a spot in the semi-finals in Mumbai.
Kohli, scoring 88, and opener Shubman Gill, with 92, formed a potent partnership of 189 runs after the early dismissal of India's captain, Rohit Sharma, on just the second ball of the match.
