New Delhi: India defeated Sri Lanka by a huge margin of 317 runs in the third ODI match. In this way, Team India won the 3-match ODI series 3-0. In this match, the Sri Lankan team got a huge target of 391 runs to win, but Dasun Shanaka’s team was reduced to just 73 runs in 22 overs.

Opener Nuwanidu Fernando scored the highest 19 runs for Sri Lanka. Apart from this, most batsmen failed to cross the double figure.

Disappointed with the defeat, Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka said that such a defeat is very disappointing.

“We don’t want a match like this as a team, but sometimes it happens. Apart from our bowlers, the batsmen also have to learn. Our players have to learn how to get out on such a wicket, and how to score runs.”

On the injury of Bandara and Vandersay, Dasun Shanaka said that he has no idea at the moment.

Meanwhile, in this series, Virat Kohli scored two brilliant centuries. He was awarded the title of ‘Player of the Series’ for his outstanding performance.

Apart from this, young fast bowler Umran Malik appeared in great rhythm in this series. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj won everyone’s heart with his performance. Apart from these two young players, bowler Kuldeep Yadav also wooed everyone with his magical spin.

All these young players performed brilliantly in this series and made themselves contenders to play the 2023 ODI World Cup.
