The first match of the three-match ODI series between India and Sri Lanka (IND vs SL) is being played on Friday, July 2 at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. In this match, Sri Lankan team captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and decided to bat first, after which the Indian team made him crave for every run. Meanwhile, half of the Sri Lankan team returned to the pavilion after scoring 101 runs.
KL Rahul was ready to fight with the umpire for 1 run
While on one hand the host team was struggling on the field, on the other hand Indian wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul was also ready to fight with the umpire for every run. Actually, during Sri Lanka's innings, an incident had also happened when a ball from Shivam Dubey hit Pathum Nisanka's pad and went into the wicketkeeper's hands.
Here the umpire gave this ball wide which KL Rahul did not like at all. The situation was such that KL Rahul was caught on camera asking Captain Rohit Sharma, 'Is the IPL rule present here?' Here KL Rahul was talking about the rule challenging the umpire's decision of wide ball call, with the help of which the umpire's decision can be changed in IPL. This is the reason why this funny video of Rohit-KL Rahul and other players' conversation is going viral on social media.
Also know that KL Rahul could not do this here because currently there is no such rule in international cricket through which the umpire's decision of wide ball can be challenged.
The teams for the first ODI match are as follows-
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Washington Sundar, Shivam Dubey, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj.
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis (wicketkeeper), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charik Asalanka (captain), Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Welalage, Akila Dananjaya, Asitha Fernando, Mohammed Shiraz.
