Unfortunately Indian team has surprisingly lose the third and last match of the series and with that defeat they lose the series by 2-0, I know it's really hard for Indian fan to accept but I think Indian team are not well prepared for SiriLankan pitches as thier mostly spinners get really huge turn which put Indian entire batting lineup in huge trouble throughout the series and I think that the main reason of thier defeat also some unnecessary changes like dropout of rahul and consecutive chances of dube even after failer that's the things which they should avoid. Anyway in previous match Rohit scored highest score of the team and today done same but due to unconsistent support form partner they failed to scored big and after a long time lose an entire series against SiriLankan team. Hope they will recover otherwise things will be really hard for them in CT2025.

Now the series has finished and in this series, we have seen too many up and downs for both teams. First of all I will start with a reminder of T20 matches from where it all started.  Smiley

The first T20 match in which Surya Kumar was the captain of the team and also for the first time Gautum Gambhir became the coach for any tour for the Indian team.
We have three T20I matches that was played in this series  in which good performance by the Sri Lanka team but can’t win any match. The first match T20 was not good for the Sri Lanka team, after that in the second match the Sri Lanka performed very poorly once again and lost it too.

In the third match, we saw progress in the Sri Lanka team but with hard luck, the match went through the Super over and once again it was won by the Indian team. However, the Sri Lankan team started to gain momentum and we saw this momentum in the ODI series and finally, they won the ODI series.

Losing to Sri Lanka is simply not acceptable. Had they lost to teams such as Australia or England, or for that matter South Africa or New Zealand, we could have still found some excuse. But how can anyone justify the Indian team losing to Sri Lanka? And this was a full strength squad, which comprised of legends such as Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav and Rohit Sharma. BTW, feels good for Parag. He was the only player who showed consistency in this tour. This guy deserves a lot of praise.

India vs Sri Lanka

The third match of the Sri Lanka vs India ODI series has started. Sri Lanka won the toss in all three matches in the ODI series. Today also Sri Lanka decided to bat after winning the toss like in the first two matches. So far Sri Lanka have collected 94 runs for the loss of 1 wicket in 22 overs. Sri Lanka's two opening batsmen are both batting patiently, but already Pathum Nissanka could not score a half-century due to 5 runs, he was dismissed for 45 runs. Avishka Fernando remains unbeaten on 46 runs. If Sri Lanka can score 250+ today then the match will be very competitive. Let's see how many runs Sri Lanka can score in the end.

For those who have seen the first two matches, this match will be very interesting.  Because this match will decide who will win this series.  And judging by its performance, India is looking very weak.  Because their batsmen do not meet the target.  And if you look at this target, if you score 248 runs in 50 overs, then this target is nothing compared to India's performance.  But still she looks very weak.  In fact, their batsmen want to set pace with poor performance, but due to pressure, they get out and lose the match if they fail to meet the target.  I didn't expect Sri Lanka to win this match but they worked hard and put India under pressure and won the match.  I had told Sri Lanka in their second match that India will not be silent but Sri Lanka have really silenced them.  Congratulations to Sri Lanka.

The top order of the Sri-Lankan team is very strong and today it was too useful but at the start of the match, as you know, it is ODI then up and downs are here. However, in today’s match, the Sri-Lankan team had a great start but later they faced some problems in the middle order but already their openers made a reasonable score and gave them a good lead. The first wicket fell at 89 when Pathum Nissanka
was dismissed and the 2nd wicket fell at 171 when Avishka Fernando lost his wicket. But this is a super performance by these two openers.

Also they were confident to beat India then it was not too big a problem. I can see the commitment in the Sri-Lanka team right from the beginning of this final match. At the end of the day, the Sri-Lankan team and its best is here, this series is such a big series for the Sri-Lanka.

The Indian team gave too poor performance and they were losing wickets back to back. By the way, at the start of the series, there was no one who was even able to say India could lose it because they have amazing history in 2024 World Cup and in the other matches, as they won the World Cup while on the other side their opponent Sri Lanka even out from the super 8s. They can’t even reach to the group stages in the World Cup but now the greatest come back ever is here by the team of Sri Lanka. Today I am sure, that every single person who bet on the Indian team from the last two matches is been very disappointed right now.

By the way., Congratulations to the Sri Lanka team.  Smiley

I haven't seen such awful batting by Indian batsmen in a long time. The Indian team performed well in the first two matches of the T20 series. But since then India's bad batting started. Indian players have batted very poorly in both the ODI matches. The first match was a draw and Sri Lanka won the second match. I know it is difficult to bat well in the second innings on this pitch. But every batsman in India is very experienced. So it is hard to accept that India won't even win a single match in the series.
I think the Indian team management and the team made the wrong decisions when they understood Shubman Gill was not performing and also not good performance is here by Shivam Dube.

They could not replace to Virat Kohli because he is the big name of the team, then they had to replace Shubman Gill and give a chance to Pant instead, but they out KL Rahul who gave his best in IPL, and then he dropped in T20 series also for World Cup and by chance select for this ODI series, but they also not giving him chances to play and Rishabh Pant his playing on his place. It is not justice, by the way, Rishabh Pant was only able to make 6 runs in this chase.

I agree with you. Indian management has major faults. Rohit and Kohli cannot be replaced. Although they have performed poorly in a few matches, they are needed in the squad. Because both are very experienced players. Moreover, despite Kohli's performance being erratic, Rohit Sharma managed to bat well in every match. So there was a need to keep these two players in the squad.

But I don't understand why Shubman Gill, Iyer and Shivam Dube were kept in the squad in all three matches. These three batsmen have batted badly in all three matches. As the Indian team management had options for these players. So they should have hoped for a change in the squad in the last match. Had the squad made changes, and given opportunities to young players, perhaps the Indian team would not have been beaten by a huge margin of 110 runs in the last match. Indian management is also responsible for such defeat of India.

If you talk about justice, then there is only one player Sanju Samson, who never performed in the matches as he got a chance in the T20 series but no performance still after 100 dismissals, if he played good in one match of IPL or any other small match then justice! justice! justice! for him.

Justice for Sanju Samson!!!!! is bieng the talk on the social media.
 
He is a league bully, he would never ever be able to play the International matches and whenever they gave him a chance he do not avail the chance. He played two T20 matches and zero in both the games. But he is the favourite of the head coach then we will see him in the next series and once again we will see his bad performances,

The Indian squad for the ODI series has experienced players like Rohit, Kohli, Rahul and Kuldeep back in the squad. The Indian squad has become stronger. So we expected India to dominate this ODI series. But this is not the case. We have seen the dominance of Sri Lanka in the ODI series. And the interesting thing is that India did not win a single match. This is really a shame for a big team like India. I thought India would win the last match and draw the series. But India lost the last match by 110 runs.

The team is not dependent on the names, it is a game of performance. If you do not perform you could be out of the team no matter whether you are Virat Kohli or anyone else.
This is the rule that should be in every team but it is not here in this Indian team. You are completely right about your statement, Virat Kohli is not in form, they have to give him rest but the power of name, also it is their wish to make Virat Kohli play every game if he is in the squad as if he would not play then the people of India will insist that they want to see him in action in every match.




A rare moment when we see Sanath Jayasuriya happy after winning a major series Wink
He has been a star in his age.

I think in the place of Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar could be very great option to give him chance there to bat and open the innings but now the ODI series has finished and the Indian team progress in this series was very disappointment indeed.

Lol, Gill might not be having good time but to have Washington open is just bad lmao. Also, there are plenty other batters competing for top order spots, so that's impossible scenario anyhow.

India were bowled out for 138 It was really funny that a strong team like India lost badly against Sri Lanka. Although I thought today's match against Sri Lanka maybe India will try hard enough to win but they could not succeed. In today's match, Sri Lankan team players have given great batting and bowling performance, their current game performance is really interesting. However, the way the Indian team has been performing since the beginning of the ODI match is not acceptable at all, if they cannot improve their game, then the upcoming matches will definitely be more difficult for them. Where India beat Sri Lanka badly in the T20 match, the Sri Lankan team is beating India badly in the ODI match and took the series.

Whatever, hopefully SL continues their good form because the world cricket desperately needs more competition. For India it's meaningless bilateral loss, but they also needs to take lessons. Idk what went wrong, such collapse (until 9th India could bat) with big names being there!?

I am very surprised by the performance of Indian players in this series. In the T20 series, the squad was made up of young Indian players. Still, India's young players performed brilliantly and won the first two matches. The final match was a tight one, but India won in the end.

The Indian squad for the ODI series has experienced players like Rohit, Kohli, Rahul and Kuldeep back in the squad. The Indian squad has become stronger. So we expected India to dominate this ODI series. But this is not the case. We have seen the dominance of Sri Lanka in the ODI series.

By the way today Washington Sundar played 10 times better than the other players in his team. Today he played at the level of Rohit Sharma and made some important runs for the team but until that time, they were not needy of those runs because the Indian team accepted their loss.

The Sri-Lankan team proved very hard for the India team to beat. I think in the place of Shubman Gill, Washington Sundar could be very great option to give him chance there to bat and open the innings but now the ODI series has finished and the Indian team progress in this series was very disappointment indeed.

But India is a bit unlucky. It is difficult for Colombo to bat well in the second innings on this pitch. But in every match, India batted in the second innings and as usual batted badly. Sri Lanka's three top order batsmen batted very well in today's match. This is why Sri Lanka managed to score a big total of 248.

But every batsman in India batted badly. At the end of 26 overs, India collected 138 runs and India lost 9 wickets. I think India will lose by 100 runs. Gill, Iyer and Pant could not bat well in any match of this series.

Srilanka vs India 3rd ODI

So today is the 3rd and the final match between India and Srilanka. So this will be very interesting match because first match was tied. And the second match was also interesting and the Srilanka comeback surprised everyone and they won the last match. So today match will be tough because India will try to tie the series and Srilanka will try to win the series so this match is really important for both teams. My best wishes are with Srilanka because India has won the T20 series and Srilanka deserves to win this.

So far I can easily say congratulations to the Sri Lanka team, they won the series of ODI. I know the match is in progress but the condition of the match for the Indian team is not good and for sure, the Sri Lanka is going to win this match as well.


 
Remember it is the last match of this series and this is the time for the Sri Lanka team to beat India in a full series after many years. The last time before this series was when they won a single match against India that was back in 21st July 2021 in an ODI but this time after so many years, they won the matches against India. The last match of the series is here and the results are again unexpected.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
Today I would really like to give credit to the Sri Lankan playing performance that they have developed such a beautiful game in ODI matches. In the T20 series we have seen that Sri Lanka team performed very poorly against India but in the ODI match they are playing brilliantly against India. Sri Lanka scored 248 runs in 3rd ODI match, losing 7 wickets, and I am very happy to see today's score which is such a good batting performance in Sri Lanka. However, in order to meet the target of 249 runs, India gave a very poor batting performance, they lost their important wickets very soon and are currently under pressure. Collecting 100 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 16 overs, today's match Sri Lanka team is doing a great bowling performance due to which India is under a lot of pressure. Dunith Wellalage he took four wickets and India might lose to Sri Lanka due to this great bowling performance today.
