MUMBAI: If anyone still wanted reasons as to why India are the team to beat in this World Cup, Rohit Sharma's side laid them down at an electric Wankhede Stadium against Sri Lanka here on Thursday.
The hosts piled up 357 for 8, thanks to polished knocks from Shubman Gill 92 (92b, 11x4, 2x6) and Virat Kohli 88 (94b, 11x4) (both were dropped on 8 and 10 respectively), and a hurricane 82 (56b, 3x4, 5x6) by Shreyas Iyer, after being put into bat by Sri Lankan skipper Kusal Mendis.
