In the opening game of the series, India had to settle for a draw despite both teams’ spinners dominating on a slow-turning track. Mohammad Siraj claimed a wicket on the opening ball of the second One-Day International, putting the Sri Lankan team in early difficulties.
Despite losing two wickets quickly after, Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis combined to score 74 runs to steady the batting. Axar Patel gave Sadeera Samarawickrama a severe dismissal even though he appeared to be in good condition. Virat Kohli, who was covering, was the first to grab the ball after Samarawickrama mishit his shot.
The former Indian captain celebrated the wicket with a Bihu dance, glancing towards the dugout where Riyan Parag sat, after completing the catch. The Rajasthan Royals player has multiple IPL performances of the Bihu dance under her belt.
Rohit Sharma spoke before the game about how he wants his squad to play with total freedom. Sharma stated, “It’s okay (to chase again); we know what to expect when we’re chasing.” during the toss. It ought to be this way. It’s not always possible to play with the same attitude and strategy.”
