Indian cricket team won the first ODI against Sri Lanka by 67 runs in Guwahati, Assam on Tuesday, 10th January. Sri Lankan team fought well till the end especially Dasun Shanaka who made his century in the last over. Dasun Shanaka would have missed his century as the Sri Lankan batters was dismissed by Shami by mankad.
Mohammad Shami who bowled the last over of the game had a mankad appeal against Dasun Shanaka. The batter was playing at 98* runs and was at the non strikers end before Shami did mankad.
Right after that incident, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma came close to Shami and told him to withdraw the appeal as he felt it is against the ‘spirit of the cricket.’
