India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI preview: Having already won the ODI series, India will look to clinch a series sweep with another victory in the third ODI against Sri Lanka which will be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. India won the first ODI by 67 runs and then took an unassailable 2-0 lead with a 4-wicket win in the second match. It was a run-fest in Guwahati in the first ODI as India scored 373 and Virat Kohli struck his 45th ODI ton. In reply, Sri Lanka were restricted to 306. But in the second ODI, Sri Lanka batted first and were shot out for 215. India had to work hard for the win and a gritty 64 not out from No 5 KL Rahul helped India cross the line. With the series in the bag, Team India could make a few changes with the 2023 ODI World Cup in the mind. Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh has not got a game yet and could be brought in to see the variety that he offers. Also, Kuldeep Yadav replaced the injured Yuzvendra Chahal in the second ODI and took three wickets. It is possible that Kuldeep could be dropped if Chahal is fit and India want to get a clear answer on whether to bank on Chahal or not. However, it’s quite possible no changes are made to the playing XI as a chance of a series sweep is at stake. But experimentation is important ahead of the World Cup even if a 3-0 series win will allow India to carry the momentum to the New Zealand ODI series that begins on 18 January. The match will be shown live on Star Sports network channels and the Disney+ Hotstar app. Squads India: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya (vc), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh. Sri Lanka: Dasun Shanaka (c), Kusal Mendis (vc), Pathum Nissanka, Avishka Fernando, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Wanindu Hasaranga, Ashen Bandara, Maheesh Theekshana, Chamika Karunaratne, Dilshan Madushanka, Kasun Rajitha, Nuwanidu Fernando, Dunith Wellalage, Pramod Madushan and Lahiru Kumara.

His 46th in ODIs and 74th overall 🫡🫡#INDvSL #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/ypFI9fdJ2I
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Century! Virat Kohli looks unstoppable. It’s his 46th ODI hundred and it came off 85 balls. It’s also Kohli second ton in this series and third in last four ODIs.
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Play halted! Sri Lanka fielders Vandersay and Ashen Bandara are lying on the ground after colliding with each other while stopping a boundary at square leg. They both slide into each other and are now being stretchered off. Both the players look in excruciating pain.
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
India 274/2 after 40 overs: With wickets in hand, India will definitely look to cross 350 mark. Virat Kohli is currently running the show and is nearing a century mark. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, who came into bat after Gill’s dismissal, is also looking in good touch having hit a four and a six so far.
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Superb innings by Shubman Gill comes to an end as the opener is castled by Rajitha. It was a good length delivery which kept low. Gill gave the charge but couldn’t get anything on the ball as it crashed into stumps. Shubman Gill b Rajitha 116(97) [4s-14 6s-2]
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
CENTURY! Shubman Gill hits his second ODI ton and what an innings it has been by the young man. He reaches the triple-figure mark in just 89 balls and has smashed 11 fours and two sixes so far. India 202/1 after 31 overs
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Gill doesn’t need luck this time as he moves forward and uses his bottom hand to loft it over wide long-off. It was a flighted delivery again by Fernando. India 187/1 after 29 overs
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Shubman Gill gets lucky four. Flighted delivery by Fernando and Gill steps out and drives but only managed to get thick outside-edge which runs away past the vacant slip and wide of short third man.
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
India 158/1 after 25 overs: The hosts are in a good position courtesy of good start given by skipper Rohit and Shubman Gill, who has completed his fifty and looks on course for his second ODI century. Meanwhile, Kohli is also looking comfortable in the middle and has hit four boundaries so far. Pressure is on Sri Lanka, who have managed to pick just a wicket so far.
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Elegant shot by Shubman Gill as he leans into a drive off the front foot to hit a boundary at mid-off. That also brings up the fifty partnership between Gill and Kohli.
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Shubman Gill is looking confident here as moments after completing his fifty, the opener smashed his first six of the match and that came off Vandersay’s delivery. India 136/1 after 21 overs
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Shubman Gill brings up his half-century with a single on the last delivery of the 19th over. Sensible innings by the young opener, who has so far hit 8 fours. Shubman will now aim to convert his fifty into hundred. India 118/1 after 9 overs
India vs Sri Lanka Live:
Back-to-back boundaries by Virat Kohli, who came into bat after Rohit’s dismissal. Vandersay concedes 11 runs in his third over of the match. India 111/1 after 17 overs
