India vs Sri Lanka, 1st ODI at Cuttack, , Nov 02 2014 - Match Result

Time for the presentation:

Angelo Mathews: Playing in India is always tough. We had to prepare as much as we could in the last seven days. It's a learning curve or the bowlers. It's an opportunity for all those who played today because there's not much experience in the camp. We let the batsmen off the hook after 10 overs. Rahane and Dhawan batted beautifully. Those two catches were crucial and Gamage looks like an exciting prospect.

Virat Kohli: Taking the responsibility of leading a young side, I like it and it excites me, especially with the World Cup coming up. Taking the Powerplay early worked well today. I bounced the idea off Duncan when I was sitting next to him because both batsmen were well set. Aaron struggled after the fourth over and I don't know the extent of his injury. I didn't want to take a chance and asked him to rest. Great to see some pace unleashed by India and it will be helpful in Australia. Great to see them hitting the line and lengths and bowl according to the field placements.

Ajinkya Rahane is the Man of the Match: Both my hundreds are equally important. The first 10 overs were slightly challenging but later on it got really easy for us. Shikhar and I really enjoyed batting in the middle. The team asked me to open so I was happy to open. I'm just thinking of this series right now. We've started really well and will take one game at a time.

That's all we have from the first ODI in Cuttack. India have taken a 1-0 lead and the action will move to Ahmedabad on the November 6 now, do join us then. Until then, goodbye and good luck! Ta ta!

8.50pm So Sri Lanka have fallen apart in this massive chase of 364. Their openers were troubled a lot by all three pacers - Umesh, Aaron and Ishant. Making a comeback, Ishant bowled beautifully to remove Dilshan and Sanga. Their hopes rested on Jayawardene then as he found gaps regularly before the spinners struck and removed him too. Akshar Patel was very economical to give India their second biggest win against Sri Lanka.

Ishant Sharma: I was getting the right lengths aggressively and consistently. I have been bowling well in the last 7-10 Tests and i have been taking wickets. Hopefully I will be consistent. The wicket was doing a lot and we bowled in the right areas. I hurt my fingers a little but while taking that last catch and even in the follow through once.

DanielAlexander: "Impressive debut for Gamage, his first over in International cricket was a maiden and took a wicket and did't give his wicket away #StayPositive "

Don: "I just don't understand how one team can make 360+ on a pitch and opposition can barely hobble past 190."

Umesh Yadav to bowl now

Ishant's best figures were 4 for 38 before this match, there are two slips in place

Debutant Gamage the last wicket

Naman: "Is it really the same pitch India batted today?"
