A merciless India subjected Sri Lanka to a tour whitewash after the fifties from skipper Virat Kohli and Manish Pandey secured their seven-wickဣet vic🍌tory in the one-off T20 International on Wednesday.
Whitewashed in the three-Test🍃 series and blanked 5-0 in the preceding one-dayers, Sri Lanka posted 170-7, a total they hoped would be enough to end the string of losses which has enraged their fans and prompted the selectors to resign en masse.
There was no respite for them, however, as ꦑKohli blasted 82 and Manish Pande✅y smashed 51 not out to help India romp home with four balls to spare.
Here is how the cricketing fraternity reacted to Team India’s victory:
India sta🐻rted this series as favourites but to ov🅷erwhelm the opposition 9-0 is quite staggering.
