Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni struck his sixth century to guide India to a commanding 301 for seven in the second ODI match against Sri Lanka on Friday. Dhoni, who slammed 72 in the opening match which India won by three runs to go 1-0 up in the five-match series, hit 107 and shared in a 126-run fifth wicket stand with Suresh Raina (68) to help the hosts recover after a shaky start.
India lost Virender Sehwag (4) to left-arm paceman Chanaka Welegedara in the first over of the match and Gautam Gambhir (2) run out with the total at 19 after opting to bat first. Opener Sachin Tendulkar (43) and Virat Kohli (54) put India on the path to recovery with a third wicket stand of 62 before Tendulkar was stumped off the bowling of Ajantha Mendis.
Dhoni, who had reprieves on 49 and 94, shared in a 51-run stand with Kohli before the latter was the first of off-spinner Surav Randiv's three victims on debut. Dhoni lashed eight fours and two sixes in his 111-ball knock and Raina hit four fours and three sixes in his 55-ball effort. Raina fell in the 47th over, giving paceman Angelo Mathews the charge and Dhoni was dismissed in the last over to Randiv, who then had Harbhajan Singh stumped for a duck off the last ball of the innings.
