First Time In 27 Years: India Pick Up Unwanted Feat After ODI Loss vs Sri Lanka
NDTV
India collapsed to 208 all out, losing to Sri Lanka by 32 runs.
As Team India's batting collapsed to 208 all out in the second ODI against Sri Lanka, the side picked up an unwanted accolade. The loss meant that this will be the first time in 27 years that India will not win a bilateral ODI series against Sri Lanka, in which at least one match has been completed. India have won 11 consecutive bilateral ODI series since 1997, but that streak will come to an end here, as India can manage a 1-1 series draw at best.
It isn't the ideal note for Gautam Gambhir to start off his tenure as India's new head coach. After winning the T20I series 3-0, India's batting has failed to fire in the first two ODIs.
It is important to note the caveat in India's win streak, as the two nations had drawn a series in 2006 as all of the three ODIs were washed out and could not be completed.
