Select washed out players, it will always be like this.

I don't even think kohli should be playing ODI. He has not performed for a very long time.

If I'm not wrong then he scored a odi century just 2 odi ago .
 
Surprised at Indian performance. It looks like a full strength team
 
Excellent by Lankans here, much needed reality check of playing that dud of a middle order. Get in Pant Jaiswal Abhishek
 
After how many years are we losing a series to them? I would consider the last one as a loss too
 
Vandersay spins it way too much! He will have to wait for his seventh wicket

Kuldeep will have to farm strike while also scoring runs, its not easy but one or two big hits and you never know
 
Game over. good win for sri lanka,

Indian middle order problems started to rear their head again. no one can argue that Dubey hasnt been given a fair run, but its time to pull a plug on him
 
What a victory by Sri Lanka, and great crowd too a victory for cricket and good stuff
 
Dube is copy of Vijay shankar ,cannot bat/ bowl / Field but play as all rounder
KL nothing to say ,we throw this garbage in T20 and started to win and now include this useless for no reason
How did iyer come back to team ?
Gambhir must prioritise winning not experimenting like this with useless players.
After what Arshdeep did last match ,he should sat out for t 2 to 3 series
 

For the first time since 2007, India failed to win an ODI series against Sri Lanka​

SL 240/9 (50)​

IND 208 (42.2)​


Sri Lanka won by 32 runs
 
Rohit Sharma's inability to kick on after PP is for all to see now.
Kohli must also retire post champions trophy if India have to prepare for WC 27
 
Definition of 'team ko lita diya' today.

Sri Lanka still showing why on home spin pitches they can take down even a batting team like India.

Momentous? For God sake this is meaningless jamodi where india is trying something deferent to prepare for champion trophy .

Axar, Dube and Washington were playing at 4 and 5 is experiment

He has retired in his abilities. He's mostly effective in powerplay now as he cashes on his experience and his ability to hit the new ball in a closed field.

victory against this Indian team is no little achievement for a team like Lanka....India is vishwaguru of cricket
 
Sri Lanka lower order stepping up has overshadowed middle order batters failure

India batting in first 2 ODIs
Top 3 - 211 runs, 35.16 avg, 95 SR
4-6 - 110 runs, 18.33 avg, 87 SR

Top win from Lanka and exciting series thanks to our amazing selection of idiots. Rahul Iyer Kohli need to be chucked out
 

Jeffrey Vandersay's six-wicket haul helps Sri Lanka beat India by 32 runs​


Despite managing to tie the first ODI, Sri Lanka defeated India by 32 runs in the second ODI at Colombo on 4 August. Chasing a target of 241 runs, India could hardly managed to score 208 runs and were bowled out in 42.2 overs. With this win, Sri Lanka lead the three-match ODI series by 1-0.

For India, skipper Rohit Sharma scored 64 off 44 balls, while Axar Patel scored 44 off 44 deliveries. Shubman Gill scored 35 off 44 balls. Apart from this, no other batter could score breach 15 runs mark.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka wonderman Jeffrey Vandersay did some real magic by clicking 6 wickets. While Charith Asalanka picked up three wickets. Jeffrey Vandersay became the player of the match.

According to stats, the defeat ends India's sequence of 11 consecutive bilateral series (2+ matches) wins in ODIs against Sri Lanka. The last time India failed to win a bilateral rubber against Sri Lanka was in December 1997, reported Cricbuzz.

Earlier, after winning the toss in the second ODI match against India at Colombo on 4 August, Sri Lanka posted a total of 241 runs to chase. Sri Lanka scored 240 after losing nine wickets.

For Sri Lanka, Avishka Fernando scored 40 runs, Dunith Wellalage smashed 39 runs. Kamindu Mendis hit 40 runs, while Kusal Mendis (30) and Charith Asalanka (25) contributed their bit.

For India, Washington Sundar picked up three wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets. Axar Patel and Mohammed Siraj picked one wicket each.

After winning the toss at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on 4 August, Sri Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka has opted to bat first against India in the second ODI.

Rohit Sharma-led India will be hoping for a more consistent performance when they take on hosts Sri Lanka in Colombo today. Notably, the Men in Blue had drawn the first ODI after needing just 1 run off 14 balls, much to the disappointment of the Indian fans and skipper.

In the 1st ODI, the Indian bowlers did their job well, restricting Sri Lanka to 230/8 in their 50 overs. The score would have been even lower had Dunith Wellalage not played a counter-attacking knock of 67 runs to give his side the momentum they needed.

Team India started on a high thanks to a brilliant 33-ball half-century from the skipper and a supporting role for Shubman Gill. However, the Indian innings fell like a pack of cards after Rohit's dismissal and the Men in Blue found themselves in a precarious position at 132/5. Fortunately, some good innings from Axar Patel and Shivam Dube took them close to victory, needing just 1 run from 14 balls, but the successive wickets of Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh took the match out of India's grasp.

Yes he made a century 2 odi ago . that was right .

He has scored a century in 2023 world cup semi and a fifty in final .

After that he is now playing odi cricket .
 
Not quite Ajantha Mendis in Karachi, 2008, but very impressive nonetheless. Asalanka is also a very underrated part-timer who always bowls well against India.

Incomplete stat
 
Why is India getting so funky with their batting order in this series? This isn't T20
 
Actually this Shivam Dube.. India ko lay dube

This dude is good for nothing.... don't know how he made it to the India national team.... must be a big parchi.
 
Not sure if Kohli is going to be any good by the next World Cup. Maybe I'm wrong

Experiment to find out player at 6 .

Dube is very bad investment at 6 , India should try Rinku or Parag instead Dube.

Need to fit jaiswal in the odi team .

Yeah but you have Pandya. If he's fit, he's your No. 6. This feels more like an attempt to find a viable back-up for Pandya.

Does Dube have some compromising photographs of the selectors or something? How does he keep getting so many opportunities?

Jaiswal needs to be in there for sure. Personally I would go with the test batting order. Open with Jaiswal and Rohit, Gill at 3, Kohli at 4, Pant at 5, Pandya at 6 followed by Axar and/or Washington.

He'll definitely make the CT. But I think that tournament will be a real litmus test for his future.
 
Too bad Sri Lanka isn't playing the CT. They have only themselves to blame but they are always a good addition to any ICC tournament because of the wildly inconsistent performances they give.

Absolutely momentous. For the first time in a long time I suspect there won't be calls to investigate an India-Sri Lanka match for fixing. We finally have a fair and acceptable result :inti

Looks like Lankans read the thread about Sanga vs Tendulkar and got annoyed at the Indian hubris.
