India v/s Sri lanka: Virat Kohli's 30th ton gives visitors series whitewash

India completed a 5-0 series whitewash against Sri Lanka in Colombo on Sunday.

Set a relatively easy target of 238, the visitors cruised to victory on the back of skipper Virat Kohli's 30th ODI ton.

Earlier, Bhuvneshwar Kumar's maiden five-wicket haul helped India restrict the hosts to a modest total.

This is the first time India have achieved a series whitewash in both Tests and ODIs.

Here are the highlights of the match:

'22:13

That's it, India have won!

Virat Kohli and Kedar Jadhav's century stand has done it for India.

As always, MS Dhoni present when the winning runs are hit.

'22:12

OUT!

Jadhav goes for another cheeky late-cut, gets caught behind instead.

But he's more than done his job for India.

Just two more runs needed.

'22:00

Century number 30 for Indian captain Virat Kohli!

​This man is well on his way to be an all-time great.

Another target on the board, another successful chase.

He's now tied on second spot with Ricky Ponting for most ODI tons.

Sachin Tendulkar leads the list with 49 centuries.

'21:55

50 for Kedar Jadhav!

​He's done tremendously well to walk in at the fall of Manish Pandey's wicket and guide India to victory.

All eyes on Kohli now, he's on 98!

IND - 213/3 after 41 overs.

'21:51

Spinners back into the attack, the Indians continue to deal in singles.

Kohli is four away from a century, Jadhav is one away from a half-century.

IND - 209/3 after 40 overs.

'21:38

Eight came from that Malinga over.

Jadhav pulls the final ball to the fine-leg boundary.

It's only a matter of time now.

Time for Drinks.

IND - 193/3 after 37 overs.

'21:34

Trademark drive through covers against the off-spinner by Kohli.

The likes of Pandey have a lot to learn from the captain's knock tonight.

India are struggling to find a regular No.4, batsmen must look at the way Kohli has gone about his business.

The team needs someone to compliment Kohli from the other end in the middle overs.

IND - 185/3 after 36 overs.

'21:23

Kohli and Jadhav seem in no hurry. They know the required rate isn't much.

Lanka will have to do something special to avoid a whitewash.

IND - 165/3 after 33 overs.

'21:15

Lankans throwing themselves at the boundaries to save crucial runs.

But this chase looks comfortable for India at the moment.

Kohli is unbeaten on 74 off 75 balls.

India need 83 from 114.

'21:03

Delicate late-cut from Jadhav for four!

Lanka can cause some serious concerns if they get another wicket here.

'20:55

OUT!

Manish Pandey throws his wicket away, Kohli can't believe it.

Tries to slog one from Pushpakumara but the ball goes straight up and is caught by skipper Upul Tharanga.

He'd be gutted to have done all the hard work and thrown it away.

Pandey walks back for 36 off 53.

Kedar Jadhav is the new man.

IND - 128/3 after 25 overs.

'20:49

Kohli brings up his 50!

This guy is a run machine!

India's chase is secure as long as the captain is at the crease.

'20:44

India survive a run-out scare!

Both batsmen take off after Kohli plays it straight to the fielder at extra-cover, Pandey dives in to safety at the end.

Lankan spinners keeping things very tight at the moment.

IND - 108/2 after 22 overs.

'20:38

India bring up their 100 as Pandey guides one to the fence.

IND - 100/2 after 20 overs.

'20:28

Danajaya starting to find his range here.

Beats Kohli all-ends-up with a beautiful leg-spinner.

Follows it up with a googly and then goes back to the off-spinner.

Time for Drinks!

IND - 82/2 after 17 overs.

'20:24

Angelo Mathews doing a good job for the hosts with his gentle medium pacers.

Almost gets Kohli but the leading edge falls just short of mid-on.

Meanwhile, Kohli and Pandey have brought up their 50 partnership.

IND - 79/2 after 16 overs.

'20:21

Off-spinner Danajaya being milked for singles easily.

'20:17

Kohli doing what he does best. Dealing in singles and the odd boundary to quietly build a partnership.

This is a great opportunity for Pandey, who scored an unbeaten 50 in his comeback match in the 4th ODI, to cement his place in the team.

IND - 70/2 after 14 overs.

'20:04

Finally some flourish from Kohli's bat!

First, he steps forward and hits a sumptuous drive through covers for a boundary.

Then he smacks the ball over Fernando's head for four to end the over.

Just the push India needed.

IND - 53/2 after 10 overs.

'19:58

Manish Pandey has joined his skipper at the crease.

India need some damage control here.

IND - 40/2 after 9 overs.

'19:50

OUT!

Fernando removes Rohit!

Poor cricket there from Rohit - tried to paddle sweep a slower ball for four, found the fielder at short-fine instead

This is a huge blow for India. Rohit was in prime form in this series.

'19:48

Rohit and Virat haven't quite gotten off to the start they did the other day.

Boundaries aren't coming easily here.

IND - 28/1 after 7 overs.

19:44

Lanka almost get the second wicket!

Rohit mistimes a pull but the ball falls short of third-man.

This might be a relatively small target but shouldn't be taken lightly by the Indians.

The hosts will be desperate to avoid a whitewash.

IND - 24/1 after 6 overs.

19:38

OUT!

Rahane walks back to the pavilion, Malinga gets his man!

The Mumbaikar fails to control a hook shot, the catch is taken after a juggling act at fine-leg.

This has been a disastrous comeback to the team for Rahane.

Malinga had pegged him back with a maiden in his previous over, he completed the job with a top-class bouncer.

Skipper Kohli walks out to the middle.

IND - 17/1 after 5 overs.

'19:32

Rohit looking every bit like a batsman who has come in on the back of two centuries.

The right-hander gets India their first boundary with a fine flick.

IND - 15/0 after 4 overs.

'19:28

Maiden over by Malinga!

​Rahane being circumspect here. He'd want to make the most of this comeback.

'19:24

Good start for left-arm pacer Vishwa Fernando.

Moving the ball away from the right-handers nicely.

Three came from that over.

'19:20

Drama in the first over!

Umpire says not out, DRS agrees.

India get four runs off the first over.

'19:14

Right, action is about to resume at the Premadasa.

'18:26

OUT!!

Bumrah gets his man. Cleaned him up as he attempts a slog. Off and middle stump take a tumble. ​Pushpakumara​ is gone for 8. They check for a front foot no-ball, it's all ok. 

SIX

Dropped. Thakur misjudges the trajectory of the ball. It hits his shoulder and goes over the boundary. Pushpakumara has mistimed this one. Not Pretty Cricket! 

'18:21

SIX

Not a great ball from Bhuvneshwar and Siriwardana clobbers this over deep midwicket. 

SL- 222/7 after 46 overs 

'18:16

OUT

Stumped- that's stumping no. 100 for MS Dhoni. He now holds the record for most stumpings in ODI.

Another good over from Kuldeep to finish his spell- 10-0-40-1 

SL- 208/6 after 44 overs 

'18:10

OUT

Hasaranga is run out here. 

Actually Dhoni dropped him but then runs across to pick up the ball up and throw it at the bowler's end. Chahal does well to gather it and remove the bells. 

SL- 205/6 after 43 overs 

'18:03

Wanidu Hasaranga de Silva is new man in and he picks up FOUR off an outside edge. He then takes a couple to bring up Sri Lanka's 200. 

SL- 201/5 after 42 overs

'17:59

OUT

Mathews is caught behind. Kuldeep Yadav gets his first wicket. Mathews tries to scoop him fine, but ends up being a simple catch to Dhoni. He goes for 55 (98). Big blow for Sri Lanka.

SL- 189/4 after 40 overs

'17:50

Bhuvneshwar is back- pace from both ends now.

Siriwardana is in. 

SL- 185/4 after 39 overs

'17:44

Bumrah is back into the attack to bowl his 7th over.

SL- 181/3 after 38 overs

'17:40

A couple off Chahal brings up the 50 for Angelo Mathews, his 35th in ODI, second in the series. Another gritty innings from him.

Two more singles from the over.

SL- 177/3 after 37 overs

'17:36

SL- 173/3 after 36 overs 

'17:28

Indian bowlers have kept things tight here. Another good over-this time from Kuldeep. Just 2 off it.

DRINKS

SL- 164/3 after 34 overs  

'17:23

SL- 158/3 after 32 overs
 
'17:15

Sri Lanka bring up their 150 in another tight over from Chahal. 

SL- 151 after 31 overs

'17:10

30 overs gone. Sri Lanka have recovered well from the loss of their top order. The partnership between Mathews and Thirimanne is worth 85 now. But now one of them needs to attack if they hope to be near 300. India need to break this partnership.

SL- 148/3  

'17:04

SIX

Thirimanne breaks the shackles, hits Chahal high in the air. It is not very convincing- just escapes the man at long on. India won't mind that too much. 

SL- 142/3 after 28 overs

'17:00

Kohli is also thinking about wickets now, brings back Bumrah. 

He bowls a very tight line here and Sri Lankan batsmen don't take any risks. Just one run off the over.  

SL- 134/3 after 27 overs

'16:56

Chahal is bowling a very tight spell here. His figures 3-0-7-0.

But India need to break this partnership now.

SL- 133/3 after 26 overs

'16:52

Mathews is lucky to get a FOUR off the first ball. Big outside edge to third man but Kedar Jadhav stops last minute and doesn't go for the catch. He can not stop the boundary either.

SL-130/3 after 25 overs

'16:47

Another good over from Chahal. Just 2 runs off it. 

Mathews and Thirimanne are building a good partnership here. But Sri Lanka have failed to capitalise on such partnerships in the previous matches. Will they do better today?

SL- 123/3 after 24 overs

'16:44

Kohli thinks it a good time to bring back Shardul Thakur, who went for some runs in his first spell (it was Tharanga who did most of the scoring).

The pacer proves him right with a tidy over. 

SL- 121/3 after 23 overs

'16:40

Chahal replaces Jadhav.

Good off stump line from the young spinner. Just 2 runs off the over.

SL- 116/3 after 21 overs

'16:33

SL- 102/3 after 18 overs

'16:22

OOOOOOOH!

Mathews is lucky again. Kuldeep sends a wrong 'un and he fails to read it. The ball lands just short of Rahane's hand. CLOSE! 

SL- 97/3 after 17 overs  

'16:15

It's the third straight time when Sri Lanka get a boundary off the last ball of the over. Mathews edged it but the ball flew through the gap between the wide first slip and the keeper. The current run rate is 5.87.

Drinks now.

SL- 94/3 after 16 overs 

'16:10

A misfield costs 4 runs off the last over, and Kohli does not look happy. 15 overs gone now.

SL- 88/3 

'16:06

Two boundaries off the Bumrah over. Mathews and Thirimaane have been the best Lankan batsmen in the series. They need to put on a good stand here to get to a big score. 

SL- 83/3 after 14 overs

'16:02

The scoring rate has come down quite heavily since Tharanga got out. Just 3 runs off the last two overs.

'15:45

Good over by Bhuvneshwar this. Just 2 runs off it.

SL- 59/2 after 9 overs

Second one is loft over extra cover. He picked up the slow ball early. 

Third is a thick edge that flies past Dhoni to the third man boundary. 

SL- 57/2 after 8 overs

'15:33

OUT 

What A Catch!!! 

Munaveera can't get under the length of a knuckleball and lofts it in the air. Kohli at mid-off back paddles, times his jump well and pulls off a good one.

SL- 40/2

'15:30

Two fours in the over. 

Tharana hits the first past mid-on. Drilled from outside off.
