First Time In 27 Years: India Suffer Disappointing Low With ODI Series Loss vs Sri Lanka

The shockingly clueless Indian batting unit was strangled by crafty Sri Lankan spinners, led by five-wicket man Dunith Wellalage, as Rohit Sharma's men crashed to an embarrassing 110-run defeat in the third and final ODI in Colombo on Wednesday. Sri Lanka won the three-match series 2-0 after the first match ended in a tie, and this is the Islanders' first bilateral ODI series victory over India since 1997. Chasing a competitive 249 on a sharp turner at Premadasa, India were bowled out for a woeful 138 in 26.1 overs, and the new head coach Gautam Gambhir will have a few hard points to ponder early into his stint.

India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI: Live Score Updates

India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Live Updates: Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka won the toss and opted to bat against India in the third ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday in Colombo. Rohit Sharma and co are on the verge of a historic defeat as it will be their first loss against Sri Lanka in an ODI series after 27 years. It's certainly not the start Gautam Gambhir, a stickler for victories, would want in his first ODI assignment as the team's head coach. The onus will be on Indian batters, particularly the talismanic Virat Kohli, to follow the path laid down by skipper Rohit Sharma and tactfully counter the spin challenge. India's previous bilateral ODI series defeat against the Islanders came in 1997.

"Not In Practice": Ex-Pakistan Star's Harsh Assessment After Virat Kohli Fails vs Sri Lanka

India loss against Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI of the three-match series left everyone utterly shocked. The 2024 T20 World Cup champions had a horrible outing with the bat as they failed to chase the target of 241 and got bundled out for 208. As the first match ended in a tie, India trail 0-1 in the three-match series. Talking about the overall performance, apart from skipper Rohit Sharma, no other Indian batter was able to deliver to his full strength.

"He Isn't Foreign Coach": Ex-India Star's Blunt 'Kohli-Rohit Verdict' On Gautam Gambhir's Stance

The ODI and T20I series against Sri Lanka were quite important from the perspective of the Indian cricket team as they were the first assignments of new head coach Gautam Gambhir. Rahul Dravid's tenure as the head coach came to an end following the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph and Gambhir was announced right away to take over the role. The first team selection for the new head coach came with some new faces but the ODI squad included two experienced names, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. While the tour of Sri Lanka was being seen as an opportunity to try new combinations with young talents, Gambhir insisted on including Kohli and Rohit. Former India fast bowler Ashish Nehra was asked about the decision and he believes that including Rohit-Virat was not the right call.

India Batters Need To Fire In 3rd ODI vs Sri Lanka To Avoid Series Defeat After 27 Years

The onus will be on Indian batters, particularly the talismanic Virat Kohli, to follow the path laid down by skipper Rohit Sharma and tactfully counter the spin challenge in the third and final ODI in Colombo on Wednesday to avoid their first series defeat to Sri Lanka in 27 years. It's certainly not the start Gautam Gambhir, a stickler for victories, would want in his first ODI assignment as the team's head coach. India's previous bilateral ODI series defeat against the Islanders came in 1997. The Arjuna Ranatunga-led Lankans then inflicted a 0-3 hammering on Sachin Tendulkar and his men.

"Gautam Gambhir Is A Kid": Childhood Coach Makes Stunning Relevation

Gautam Gambhir's childhood coach Sanjay Bharadwaj has said that people often confuse Gambhir's strive to win and achieve success with arrogance. Calling him a 'kid', Bharadwaj - who has shared a three-decade long association with Gambhir - came to the defence of his most famous disciple. Gambhir was recently appointed the head coach of Team India, after a title-winning IPL 2024 as mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Whilst Gambhir's clash of personalities with figures like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli have been popularly portrayed, his coach believes he is misunderstood.
