After winning the toss at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on 4 August, Sri Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka has opted to bat first against India in the second ODI.
Rohit Sharma-led India will be hoping for a more consistent performance when they take on hosts Sri Lanka in Colombo today. Notably, the Men in Blue had drawn the first ODI after needing just 1 run off 14 balls, much to the disappointment of the Indian fans and skipper.
In the 1st ODI, the Indian bowlers did their job well, restricting Sri Lanka to 230/8 in their 50 overs. The score would have been even lower had Dunith Wellalage not played a counter-attacking knock of 67 runs to give his side the momentum they needed.
Team India started on a high thanks to a brilliant 33-ball half-century from the skipper and a supporting role for Shubman Gill. However, the Indian innings fell like a pack of cards after Rohit's dismissal and the Men in Blue found themselves in a precarious position at 132/5. Fortunately, some good innings from Axar Patel and Shivam Dube took them close to victory, needing just 1 run from 14 balls, but the successive wickets of Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh took the match out of India's grasp.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Speaking on the Shubhankar Mishra podcast, Joginder Sharma stated, "Gautam Gambhir team ko sambhalne waala hai lekin par mera ye manna hai ki Gautam Gambhir jyada lambe samay tak tik nahi payega (Gautam Gambhir is the one to manage the team, but I believe that Gautam Gambhir will not be able to stay for a long time),"
"Kyunki Gautam Gambhir ke apne hi kuch faisle hote hain. Ho sakta hai kisi player se man motaaw ho jaye. Mai Virat Kohli ki baat nahi kar raha hun. Gautam Gambhir ke faisle kai baar aise ho jaate hain ki dusro ko pasand nahi aate (This is because Gautam Gambhir has his own decisions. It might happen that he has a disagreement with a player. I am not talking about Virat Kohli. Many times, Gautam Gambhir's decisions are such that others do not like them)," Sharma added
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Speaking about the IND top order batsman bowling, interim bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule said, “So, if one or two (batsmen) from the top-order can bowl it will definitely help the team, of course, depending on pitch conditions and situations… Also, it will be a surprise element to the opposition, if a batter can bowl. So, moving ahead there will be ample opportunities for batters to bowl,"
Talking about the result of first ODI, Bahutule added, “To have a tie in ODI is always exciting. Yeah, we should have got that one run and finished off the match. Nevertheless, I thought we bowled really well… We did bat well in patches, and we could have had few partnerships that would have taken us (home) with less wickets going,"
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Speaking at a recent event, MSD said, "We have been colleagues who played for India for a very long time. He (Kohli) has been amongst the best when it comes to world cricket. And the fact that I could bat a lot with him during the middle overs was a lot of fun because we used to take a lot of twos and threes in the game, so it has always been fun. It is not like we meet very often, but whenever we get a chance, we make sure that we go on the side and chat for sometime, we will talk about what is going on, so that is our relationship,"
