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.
