IND vs SL 2021: Fans Praise Rahul Dravid and ‘India B’ After Comeback Win Against Sri Lanka in 2nd ODI
Team India produced an unlikely comeback against Sri Lanka in the second ODI at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday (July 20) as the lower order batsmen chased down a score of 276 runs after the top order faltered. The visitors eventually won the game by seven wickets, taking a 2-0 lead and sealing the three-match ODI series. This was also India’s fifth consecutive win over Sri Lanka in One-Day Internationals.

With many of the main stars rested after the World Test Championship and with England tour on the horizon, India took a much-inexperienced team for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka with Rahul Dravid leading the side in the absence of regular coaches. Despite many changes, the Men in Blue were the favourites against a new-look Sri Lanka outfit and the so-called India B team delivered, winning the ODI series with a dramatic win.
