Captain Rohit Sharma led from the front after losing KL Rahul and Virat Kohli early in the innings against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2022.
In a must-win game for the Indian team, Rahul departed after scoring 6, his third failure in the tournament.
Virat, who was looking confident in the previous three games, was clean bowled without opening his account at the Dubai International Stadium.
Virat had surpassed Rohit in the list of most 50+ scores in the last encounter against Pakistan. The 33-year-old completed 32 such scores while Rohit was on 31.
The 35-year-old took just one game to catch up with his teammate. He hit his 32nd fifty-plus score in the latest contest with the Lankans.
