317 is the largest margin of victory in ODI cricket. India vs Sri Lanka, Jan 23
The largest margin of victory in ODI cricket is recorded by India when they defeated Sri Lanka by 317 runs in a match played on January 15, 2023. India, batting first, posted a mammoth total of 390 runs, and then bowled out Sri Lanka for just 73 runs. Virat Kohli, the Indian run machine, scored a huge century and was remained not out on 166 runs. Kohli was declared the player of the match.
Dominating win is an understatement for that win. Never really did India let Sri Lanka in the contest all thanks to Gill, Kohli and then Siraj.
India’s strong 390 run total was too much for the Sri Lankan team to overcome. Siraj’s exceptional performance with the ball made it even harder for Sri Lanka, as he made the ball move and caused confusion among the top order. Although he didn’t get a five-wicket haul, Siraj can be proud of his performance and the way he has stepped up for India in the absence of Bumrah, not only in this format, but also in international cricket.
