The Indian team is all set to face Sri Lanka in the series deciding third ODI at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday. The first ODI had dramatically ended in a tie while Sri Lanka went on to win the second match by 32 runs. This is the first ODI series under new head coach Gautam Gambhir so the Men in Blue definitely wouldn’t want to end it in defeat.
The BCCI shared a video on their official X handle in which interim bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule can be heard saying, “Well I think the batters and overall as a unit, the bowlers as well, certain areas in which we need to be working on, has been addressed and I think that’s what they were trying to implement, certain pattern of bowling which has been done to our batters, we’re trying to see how we can match that and find a solution.”
A loss in the series would turn out to be a big shock for the recently recruited Gautam Gambhir-led coaching staff who took over a team that had played really well in the ODI format the previous year. Despite their success in the T20I series, they wouldn’t want to end the Sri Lankan tour on a negative note.
