After a humiliating 110-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI of the series, India skipper Rohit Sharma brushed off any concerns while facing spin despite the Men in Blue losing a total of 27 wickets to the Sri Lankan spinners in the series. India failed to chase a target for the third consecutive time in the series as they got dismissed for 138 runs chasing 249.
Thanks to the victory Sri Lanka registered their first series win against India in 27 years. Despite suffering a rare series loss against the Lankan Lions, the Indian skipper ruled out any talks of complacency within the team.
“I don’t think it is a concern. 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 complacency. But you have to give credit to good cricket. Sri Lanka played better than us. We looked at the conditions and went with the combinations, there also guys who need to be looked at and hence the changes,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation.
“There are lot of areas we need to look at rather than the positives. These things happen, series lost 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,” said Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation,” he added.
