Virat Kohli hit his 73rd international century to help India beat Sri Lanka by 67 runs in the first one-day international in Guwahati.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Kohli survived being dropped on 52 and 81 to compile 113 from just 87 balls – his second successive ODI hundred.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill shared a stand of 143, making 83 and 70 respectively, as India posted a hefty 373-7 after losing the toss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Captain Dasun Shanaka hit 108 not out but Sri Lanka’s pursuit ended on 306-8.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kohli’s century was his 45th in ODIs, leaving him just four short of the record held by his former India team-mate Sachin Tendulkar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 34-year-old former captain, who scored 113 in his last ODI innings in December against Bangladesh, hit 12 fours and a six, reaching three figures in 80 balls.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was eventually out in the penultimate over when he skied a catch off Kasun Rajitha, who took 3-88.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka were never seriously in the chase – they lost regular wickets to fall to 206-8 in the 38th over as fast bowler Umran Malik claimed 3-57 – but Shanaka’s second ODI century avoided an even heavier defeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

On 98 in the final over, and with 83 needed from three balls, the Sri Lanka captain was run out at the non-striker’s end by bowler Mohammed Shami after leaving the crease early, but India captain Rohit withdrew the appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shanaka then struck a four two balls later to reach his century. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We cannot get him out like that,” Rohit said afterwards. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We wanted to get him out, we thought we will get him out, but that was not something we thought of. But again, hats off to him, he played really well.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The second ODI is at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday. India have already won the three-match Twenty20 series 2-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
