IND vs SL ODI Series: The second match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka was played in Colombo. In this match, Team India had to face a shameful defeat. The Sri Lankan team scored only 241 runs and defeated India by 32 runs. With this win, Sri Lanka has taken a 1-0 lead in the series. The first match of this series was a tie, that is, Team India can no longer win this series. If the team of captain Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir performs brilliantly in the last ODI, then the series can be tied at most 1-1. On the other hand, Sri Lanka will also have a chance to win it. For the first time since Gautam Gambhir became the coach, such a big accident has happened with Team India.Saw such a day after 18 yearsThis is only the sixth match of Team India after Gautam Gambhir's arrival. In the same number of days, Team India has played two tie matches and now for the first time in 18 years, it is getting to see such a bad thing. In fact, for the last 18 years, the Indian team has been continuously winning the ODI series against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. This is the first time since 2006 that Team India has not won a series in Sri Lanka.Earlier, the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid ended in a 0-0 draw. At that time also, Team India went for a 3-match ODI series, in which all three matches had to be canceled due to rain. However, this time under Gambhir's coaching, India is on the verge of losing.India lost after 12 years with Rohit-ViratAfter Gautam Gambhir's arrival, it seems Team India has been cursed. Along with the grief of not being able to win the series, another bad thing was seen with Team India. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the pillars of the Indian team for more than a decade. Now Sri Lanka has toppled that pillar as well. This is the first time in the last 12 years that Team India lost an ODI match in Sri Lanka despite both the legendary batsmen being in the playing XI.
