Sara Tendulkar’s reaction is viral after Shubman Gill misses out his century against Sri Lanka

In the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between India and Sri Lanka on Thursday, Shubman Gill was removed by Dilshan Madushanka, just moments away from making his first ODI century. As he put the Sri Lankan bowlers to task and went on to smash 11 fours and two enormous sixes, Gill looked incredibly in control. He edged a delivery straight to wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis behind the stumps, cutting the deficit to just eight runs from a well-earned century. Gill’s dismissal stunned the Wankhede Stadium crowd in Mumbai, and Sara Tendulkar’s (the daughter of great cricketer Sachin Tendulkar) response went viral on social media.

Kusal Mendis, the captain of Sri Lanka, chose to field after winning the toss

India, the only team without a loss at this World Cup, keeps its starting lineup, with captain Rohit Sharma content to bat first at his Wankhede Stadium home ground, where earlier in the tournament South Africa amassed 399 runs after being sent in by faltering champions England.

Rohit remarked, “I would have batted first.” “This pitch is strong… It will be pleasant for our seamen to bowl under the lights.

“It is an immense privilege to lead India in the World Cup (on a field where I have played my entire life).

We thrive as a team on improvement. It goes without saying that it’s critical for us to maintain our equilibrium and avoid getting carried away.”

One change was made by Sri Lanka from the team that lost to Afghanistan by seven wickets: leg-spinner Dushan Hemantha replaced Dhananjaya de Silva.

“I believe that batting second is preferable to batting first. The guys are trying their hardest and have performed well in a few games. We have three crucial games coming up,” Mendis stated.
