After rain interrupted Sri Lanka’s chase, their target was revised to 271 in 42 overs.

Robin Singh’s brilliant bowling earned him Man of the Match, claiming two key wickets and keeping Sri Lanka in check. 📌 Highlights to Watch: Tendulkar’s 23rd ODI century and masterful strokeplay Ganguly’s pivotal partnership with Tendulkar Robin Singh’s match-winning bowling performance Sri Lanka’s strong start and dramatic tail collapse India’s strategic win under D/L method #indvssl #cricketmax #highlights #thriller #sachintendulkar #india
