With dew a certainty in Guwahati, Kohli feels defending a total like 373 will give bowlers much-needed experience on bowling with the wet ball.

India’s poster boy Virat Kohli stole the show as he smashed his 73rd international hundred. He scored a remarkable 113 runs off 87 balls and helped India reach a big total.
Hooda did a splendid job in the match as he smashed 41 runs off just 23 balls that included a boundary and 4 maximums.
Bumrah has been out of action since September 2022 after he suffered a back injury. He was later ruled out from the T20 World Cup citing the injury concerns
Shikhar Dhawan, who was making a comeback after an injury layoff, scored 32 and 52 in the two games against Sri Lanka and is not fussed about the competition
Shikhar Dhawan also talked about the experiment that the Indian team management is undergoing at the moment with different players.
In the second T20I at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, India had drubbed Sri Lanka by seven wickets to take 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Earlier, Navdeep Saini had bowled a 148kmph yorker to crash into the middle-and-leg stumps of opener Danushka Gunathilaka.
Virat’s imitation was welcomed by the Holkar crowd as they cheered for him from the stands.
Both the teams are unchanged from the Guwahati T20I.
