Team India got off to a wrong footing against Sri Lanka in the ODI series as the latter clinched it by 2-0 after the first match resulted in a tie. The Indian captain, Rohit Sharma was the leading run scorer for the visitors in the three-match fray, hammering away 157 runs from the three games at a very breezy strike rate. However, once he fell, India could barely sustain themselves, eventually succumbing to the hosts.
Talking at the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma highlighted the challenges and the emotions in the dressing room after the unexpected defeat. However, he also vowed that Team India will be working together in order to address what went wrong in Sri Lanka.
Sharma said, “I don't think it is a concern (spin problems). But it is something we have to look at individually and as a gameplan. It is a joke, when you are playing for India there is never going to be complacency. When I am captain there is no chance of that. But you have to give credit to good cricket.”
He further added, “Sri Lanka played better than us. We looked at the conditions and went with the combinations, there are also guys who need to be looked at and hence the changes. There are a lot of areas we need to look at rather than the positives from this series because we need to be better prepared when we come across such conditions next time.”
The Indian captain concluded with a word of promise for the upcoming days, stating, “These things happen, series loss is not the end of the world, you will lose an odd series here and there but it is about how you come back after the loss.”
