IND vs SL 3rd ODI Highlights: India becomes 1st team to win by 300+ runs in ODIs
India Vs Sri Lanka, 3rd ODI Cricket Scorecard and Updates: Rohit Sharma's side will look to whitewash Sri Lanka in Thiruvananthapuram.
India will face Sri Lanka in the third and final match of the series on Sunday at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvanthapuram. This will be the second ODI to be hosted at the stadium, with India having previously triumphed over West Indies there in 2018. The last international match held at the stadium was a T20I between India and South Africa in September of last year. Although the series has already been decided, this match will still be an enthralling opportunity for fans to witness international cricket at the Greenfield International Stadium.
With India having already secured the series with a commanding 2-0 lead in the three-match series, the Men in Blue will be aiming to complete a clean sweep on Sunday with a stellar performance. They have been in top form throughout the series, and a win on Sunday would be a fitting end to a series that has seen India dominate from start to finish.
In the second ODI, India demonstrated their superiority with a commanding victory, and they will be aiming to replicate that success in the finale.
At Eden Gardens in Kolkata, Team India secured a thrilling two-wicket victory in a nail-biting finish. After winning the toss, the Sri Lankan batting order was quickly dismantled by the impressive bowling of Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, and Umar Malik. India's batting didn't get off to the best start either, with top-order batters being sent back to the pavilion early on.
However, a crucial 75-run partnership between KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya for the fifth wicket secured the win for team India. Rahul finished the game with an unbeaten 64 as India won by two wickets with 40 balls to spare.

Latest Updates
IND vs SL 3rd ODI Live Score:
Rohit Sharma | India captain: It was a great series for us. Lots of positives. We bowled well, got wickets when we needed and the batters throughout the series piling on the runs was good to watch. Good to see how he (Siraj) was bowling and he deserved all those slips. He is a rare talent, the way he has come up over the last few years is good to see. He has come from strength to strength and that's really good for Indian cricket. We tried all sort of things (to get his fifer) but it didn't happen unfortunately. But the four wickets are all his and fifers will come. He has a few tricks up his sleeves which he is working on and it's there to see. We'll get to the drawing board quickly (for the next series) and see how the pitch is, then decide how the combinations will be. They (NZ) are coming off a series win in Pakistan, so it won't be an easy task at all.

Virat Kohli | Player of the Match | Player of the Series: I have no idea (about the MoS awards he has won). For me, it's just a byproduct of the intent I have, mindset that I play with. Mindset is always to help the team win, bat for as long as possible and if you do that, you end up making a difference. I have always played for the right reasons, help the team as much as possible. It is just intent, playing for the right reasons. Ever since I came back from the long break, I have been feeling good. I don't have that desperation to get to a milestone. I am just enjoying my batting, being in a space where I can relax. Today as well, I was just happy to be out there batting. I am in a nice space right now and want this to continue.

With the series in the bag, India remains undefeated in 11 consecutive ODI series against Sri Lanka on home soil. The best Sri Lanka could manage was a 1-1 draw in a three-match series back in 1997. Since then, India has dominated the rivalry, winning all 10 ODI series against the Lankans on their own turf.

With the series in the bag, India can look to making some changes. However, considering it is a World Cup year, the management may also want its core to gain as much game time as possible.
