Coach Gautam Gambhir's anger is at its peak due to Team India's crushing defeat in the second ODI. The big players of this team are T20 champions, but look at the situation in ODIs. Sri Lankan players are nothing in comparison to them. Half the players are injured and the team is full of new boys. Team India is losing shamefully to those boys and cricket fans are dreaming of winning the Champions Trophy in February 2025 with this team.
Team India is dreaming of winning the Champions Trophy, but is losing badly to Sri Lanka. Even after winning the first match, the Indian team ended up on a draw, it would be appropriate to call it a defeat. The second match was a crushing defeat. I don't know what will happen to our players on that pitch where Sri Lanka scored 240 runs while batting first. Team India's condition worsened while chasing the target of 241 runs on the same pitch.
After 18 years the Indian team had to face bad days
Team India has suffered this defeat against Sri Lanka. This was not a small defeat. Now Team India cannot win this series even if it wants to. This series is of three matches in total. Where no one could win in the first match and Sri Lanka won the second match. In such a situation, even if Team India wins the last match of this series, the series will be tied at 1-1 and the last time Team India could not defeat Sri Lanka in the ODI series was in the year 2006. In such a situation, it will be 18 years since Team India has failed to defeat Sri Lanka in any bilateral series.
It is a different matter that like last time, this time also Sri Lanka's batting was in bad shape, in the first match five wickets fell at around 110 runs, this time six wickets fell at 136 runs, but these Indians did not lose a single wicket after six. Wickets fall only when the opposing team reaches a good score. The same happened in this match as well. At one time Sri Lanka's score was 136 runs for 6 wickets, in which four batsmen added 100 runs, but while chasing the target, Team India surrendered to spin bowler Vandersay in the middle overs after a good start.
