Indian team without Virat Kohli is just about the disaster seen at Dharamshala today. After losing the toss to the Lankans the Indian batting stumbled like some school team’s batting order.

The Indian batting line up without Virat Kohli fell like a house of cards as the Lankan bowlers got the better of them.
India could only manage 112 runs against the opposition which India perhaps took too lightly. As Virat has been rested from the ODI series and the T20 series the Rohit Sharma led team turned out to be nightmare for the Indian fans today. India not only lost the first of the three ODIs but this defeat is one which India wouldn’t forget for long.
Dhoni the saviour

MS Dhoni was the only batsman who could confront the Lankan challenge. While he scored 65 from 87 deliveries, other batsmen couldn’t even add up their scores to match what Dhoni scored.
Today the experience that Mahi exhibited tells you why experience is so worthy and why MS Dhoni is a must have in the team.
Fans reach out to Kohli to rejoin the team
As Virat is skipping this ODI series he was missed badly today. It’s not just in terms of batting but he also adds a great energy to the team being the captain. Virat who was promoting his clothing line of Twitter was rather pleaded by fans to rejoin the team after what happened today.
Loving the response to #One8. The #One8Crew seems to be growing by the minute! ??

Today India at one point was 29/7 and getting even 50 runs on the board seemed bleak.
As Virat was prompting his clothing line on Twitter the response he got was to rejoin the team and save the team from the mess.

Team India without you is incomplete. Today's match shows Indian batsman performance on pitch which has something for bowlers. SA tour is coming so rest well, prepare and practise hard.
Otherwise the result is not very hard to predict!
Have a great time, Champ! ❤️
