The Rohit Sharma-led team won convincingly by 67 runs in the first game of the series in Guwahati thanks to some outstanding batting displays from Rohit, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli.

India bowled Sri Lanka out for 215 on a calm batting surface, with Mohammed Shami, Umran Malik, and Mohammed Siraj also getting wickets.

After Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli left the field early in the run chase, the hosts did have some early setbacks, but Shreyas Iyer (28), Hardik Pandya (36) and KL Rahul stabilized the innings. With four wickets in hand and a score of 64, Rahul led India home in the 43rd over. Dravid visited the doctor and was given the medication Telma, which helped him feel better.
