IND vs SL: In the ongoing ODI series between India and Sri Lanka, Team India has not been able to win a single match so far. In the first match, the Indian team was very close to victory, but that match ended in a tie, while if we talk about the second match, there was also a possibility of victory, but the Indian batsmen performed poorly and lost the match. Now one match is left, which Team India has to win at all costs, otherwise the series will be lost. Especially because of two players, the match got out of hand, who have returned to the Indian team.Bowlers did a good job in the first two ODIsThe Indian team has bowled first in both the matches of the ODI series being played against Sri Lanka and the bowlers have done a good job to stop the opposing team on a small total. While the Sri Lankan team could score only 230 runs in the first match, Sri Lanka scored only 240 runs in the second match, despite this Team India could not achieve this target. KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have returned to the Indian team. It is believed that they will not be able to return in T20 International, but there are still hopes on them in ODIs. But both the players could not do anything special in the first and second matches.KL Rahul has been able to score only 31 runs in two matchesLet's talk about KL Rahul first. Rahul played a short innings of 31 runs in the first match, while in the second match when Team India was in trouble, he returned to the pavilion after getting out on zero without opening the account. If we talk about Shreyas Iyer, he could score only 23 runs in the first match, while after this only 7 runs came from his bat in the second match. From this it can be understood how both these batsmen proved to be flops. Meanwhile, the third match is left, by winning which the Indian team will try to level the series. If this match is also lost, then the series will also be lost.
Last ODI match of this yearThe third and last match of the series will be played on 7 August. The big thing is that after this match, Team India will play in ODIs only next year, when it will face England. There is also the Champions Trophy in February, which will be played in ODI format this time. That means there is not much time to prepare for it. Will captain Rohit Sharma make some changes in his playing eleven for the next match, or will he play with the same playing eleven, this is a big question in itself. Also, it will be interesting to see whether the Indian team will be able to counterattack this time, whatever happens, winning the match should be the first priority, so that further preparations can be increased.
