Shanaka got the century thanks to Rohit's mahatma quality.

The attention of the world is currently focused on a unique incident that took place during the first one-day cricket clash between India and Sri Lanka.

It was due to the fact that Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka had a chance to get out when he was 2 runs away from his century due to the intervention of Rohit Sharma.

Mohammad Shami was directing the last over of the match.

He tried to mancard Dasun Shanaka who had scored 98 runs.

There he made a request to the judge about the dismissal.

There, Indian captain Rohit Sharma immediately withdrew the request respecting the gentlemanly quality of cricket.

Accordingly, in the last over of the match, Dasun Shanaka scored his second ODI century.

His innings included 3 sixes and 12 fours.

He managed to cross the 100-run mark in 87 balls.

After the match, Sharma said that Shanaka handled the bat very well.
