Team India will take on Sri Lanka in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday (January 12). Rohit Sharma’s team is leading the series 1-0 and would like to end the series with a second consecutive win.
After winning the first ODI against Sri Lanka, India batsman Shubman Gill said it was nice to get support from skipper Rohit Sharma and revealed that head coach Rahul Dravid asked him to ‘play his natural game’ in ODIs. . Heroics from star batsmen Virat Kohli and Umran Malik were overshadowed by skipper Dasun Shanaka’s fighting century as India thrashed Sri Lanka by 67 runs in the first ODI of the three-match series in Guwahati on Tuesday.
Ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma had announced that he would play Shubman Gill over Ishan Kishan, who scored a double century in the previous game. The India skipper said he wanted to give Gill a ‘proper run’ in ODIs, the best performance by India openers in 2022.
He said, ‘It feels good when the captain of the team supports you. The same thing was going on in practice that I will play. Rahul bhai (Dravid) also told me to play my natural game… to continue what I am doing in ODIs.
“I was definitely disappointed when I got out for 70 because I had worked hard to do well for the team and get a big achievement for the team,” said the opening batsman.
