Cricket Live Score, India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 2nd ODI in Mohali: Rohit Sharma and Boys Look to Level Series

11:54 (IST) FOUR! Cracking stroke! Length and outside off Dhawan slams it through cover-point. The fielders had no chance whatsoever. Full Scorecard 17:58 (IST) So that s all that we have for the moment. Not a happy day for India. They will have to as Shakira famously sang pick themselves up dust themselves up and be back on the saddle. But that won t be one bit easy. This defeat means that India would not be able to overtake South Africa at the top of the ODI rankings even if they win the series. Next stop will be Mohali in three days time and it will be an 11.30 start there too. Catch you then. Till then good bye. Full Scorecard Chris Gayle has not been firing on all cylinders in the recent past as per his lofty standards. The big Jamaican had a best of 51 in his last eight innings in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2017. However the cricketing fraternity already knows a Gaylestorm can hit anytime anywhere without any warning and that is exactly what happened on Friday in Dhaka. Playing for Rangpur Riders Chris Gayle was at his destructive best smashing his 19th T20 hundred which came off just 45 balls. Gayle scored 126 runs in total off 51 balls including 14 sixes and six fours. Khulna batting first had posted 167 for six. But they were completely blown away by Gayle s innings as Rangpur overhauled the target in only 15.2 overs in the Eliminator. In the process Gayle scored his fourth ton in the BPL and became the first batsman smash 800 sixes in T20 cricket. This was the 14th time Gayle has hit 10 sixes or more in an inning in T20s. Brendon McCullum Evin Lewis and Dasun Shanaka are the joint next best -- with all three hitting 10 sixes or more in an inning a mere two times. Fans on Twitter were left speechless with Gayle s innings. 19th T20 century for @henrygayle Brilliant innings#BPLT20 Ahmed Kazim (@IamAhmedKazim) December 8 2017 He s the GOAT by far when it comes to t20 cricket. @henrygayle https://t.co/2kYaHCKuhq Pakistani (@Apassionateguy) December 8 2017 Most sixes in an innings of BPL- 14-Gayle 12-Gayle 11-Gayle 10-Gayle It s all about @henrygayle.

Captain Mahmudullah and West Indian Craig Brathwaite played brilliant cameos to push their team to this total. Mahmudullah scored 20 off just six balls while Brathwaite smashed 25 off 9 balls. Things didn t go all Rangpur s way in the chase. Opener Sohag Gazi and Brendon McCullum scored 1 and 0 respectively to leave the Riders tottering at 25 for two. But Gayle decided to take matters in to his own hands and the rest as they say is history. Mohammad Mithun played a smart innings from the other end and had the best seat in the house as Gayle took the Khulna bowlers to the cleaners. The Bangladeshi batsman was 30 not out off 36 when the dust settled after Gayle s carnage as Rangpur marched to the next round with an eight-wicket win.
