Indian ODI team faced a massive defeat to Sri Lanka by 110 runs in Colombo. The final match resulted in a series score of 2-0 in favour of Sri Lanka. This loss marked India’s first bilateral series loss in this format in 27 years. On this event, Pakistani cricketer Tanvir Ahmed made fun of Team India and head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Former Pakistani cricketer Tanvir has recently gained attention as because of his merciless criticism of Harbhajan Singh and the Indian cricket team, more specifically, regarding the refusal to travel to Pakistan for upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. He keeps on dropping comments on Indian team, just to keep being on the spotlight. He targeted team India again, following the defeat to Sri Lanka in the ODI series.
“Next time india walon ko bolain gay achi team lay kar Ana (From next time we tell India to bring better team):, he posted on X.
“India team ka ODI series harney ka gift Gautam ghambir (A gift for losing the ODI Series Gautam Gambhir)”, he posted soon after the match ended.
In all three ODIs, Indian batters struggled with a repeating issue. Even after the strong start given by Rohit Sharma, other batters just could not live up to the expectations. India failed to chase targets which were less than 250 in each match. In the last ODI, Sri Lanka set a target of 249, then bowled out India for just 138.
In the Sri Lanka tour, India grabbed a 3-0 victory in the T20I series under leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, while in the ODI series, lost by 2-0 with first match ending up as a tie.
