COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma hit centuries and combined in a 219-run second-wicket partnership to lift India to an imposing 375 for five in the fourth one-day international against Sri Lanka on Thursday.
Kohli joined Sharma at the crease when India lost opener Shikhar Dhawan (4) - caught in the deep off Vishwa Fernando's bowling - with the total on six after winning the toss and batting.
Then the pair consolidated the innings with a brisk partnership that took just 168 deliveries. Kohli made 131 for his 29th one-day international century, facing 96 deliveries and hitting 17 boundaries and two sixes.
He became Lasith Malinga's 300th ODI wicket when he was caught on the cover point boundary after chasing a ball that was full and wide.
Angelo Mathews (2-24) dismissed Hardik Pandya (19) before having Sharma caught behind for 104. Sharma's 13th one-day international century came from 88 deliveries and included three sixes and 11 boundaries.
Sri Lanka picked up another wicket when Lokesh Rahul was caught at midwicket off spin bowler Akila Dananjaya, threatening a comeback.
But India quickly recovered and went on the attack. From 274-5 in the 38th over, Mahendra Singh Dhoni joined Manish Pandey and the pair added an unbroken 101 runs in 74 deliveries.
Pandey was unbeaten on 50 when India completed 50 overs, and Dhoni was on 49.
