Rayudu the Match winner
India now lead five-match series 2-0. Batting first, Sri Lanka scored 274 for eight in stipulated 50 overs with skipper Angelo Mathews scoring 92. In reply, India never looked in any sort of trouble as they chased down the target with minimum fuss in only 44.3 overs. Virat Kohli promoting him at No 3, Rayudu justified his skipper's faith scoring an unbeaten 121 off
118 balls with the help of 10 fours and 4 sixes in an innings that was paced perfectly. With this century, 29-year-old Rayudu became the fourth oldest Indian batsman to score his maiden ton in ODIs after Sunil Gavaskar, Mohinder Amarnath and Robin Singh.
