A 3 match ODI series is being played between India and Sri Lanka at this time. The second match of the series was played in Colombo on 4 August. In this match, India had to face defeat by 32 runs. With the defeat in the match, Team India's dream of winning the ODI series has also been shattered. From here, even if Team India wins the third match, it will only be able to equal the series. Because the first match was tied. Whereas Sri Lanka has taken a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the second match.

27 year old record broken
The Indian team has been winning ODI bilateral series against Sri Lanka for the last 27 years. But now this 27-year-old record has been broken. Because Team India cannot win this series from here.

Sachin Tendulkar was the captain of Team India in that series. Sri Lanka won the series 3-0. Since then, 11 ODI series have been played between the two teams and Team India has won all of them.

Lost the second match by 32 runs
In the second match of the series, Team India's batting collapsed once again. All the batsmen except Rohit Sharma disappointed. Team India had a target of 241 runs to win this match. But the Indian team returned to the pavilion at 208 runs.
