Sri Lanka cricket team
The ODI series against Sri Lanka was nothing special for Team India. In this series, the Indian team had to face defeat by 0-2, while one match ended in a draw. This defeat is big because after 27 years Team India lost the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In this series, the players of the team could not bat well on the spin friendly wicket. Indian captain Rohit Sharma also admitted this mistake. But a Sri Lankan player gave such a statement in the joy of this victory which is now becoming quite viral.
Sri Lankan player raised questions on Indian team
Sri Lankan spinner Mahesh Teekshna has come into the limelight after the ODI series against India. Mahesh Teekshna has taken a dig at the Indian batsmen and said that they are used to playing on good wickets and short boundaries. Mahesh Teekshna said after the series win that Team India is usually used to playing on good wickets and short boundary grounds in India. We knew that if we get a little turn while playing at Premadasa, we can take advantage of it because we have good spinners. The wicket is also like this in home matches, so our batsmen know how to play. When we were batting first, we thought that the wicket would be much better than the first two matches.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma said on the team’s poor performance that we need to think about which players can play on such pitches, but you also need to give consistent opportunities because it is not easy to perform well on one or two occasions. This was a bad series and we have to accept it. We have got such pitches before. The ball has spun before as well. The players trained hard in the nets, they were seen trying to play different shots but it is important for us to know the art of maintaining rhythm. We could have won the first ODI.
Team India’s batsmen were a complete flop
This series also saw a very poor performance from the Indian batsmen. Apart from Rohit Sharma, no Indian player could touch the 100 run mark in this series. In all three matches of the series, the Indian team was all out while chasing the target. In the last ODI match, the team was all out for just 130 runs and had to face a shameful defeat by 110 runs.
