But shivam dube

But Shivam Dube: With one run needed off 14 balls, one would have expected India to win against Sri Lanka in the ODI series opener at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday. But Shivam Dube and Arshdeep Singh were trapped lbw on successive balls by Wanindu Hasaranga, which ensured Sri Lanka tied the match with India.

For the Indian camp, assured smiles of a victory turned into the shell-shocked realisation of not winning the match and to digest that the game which they were fancied to win got converted into a tie. After the game ended, India captain Rohit Sharma said he was disappointed to not get the win, but added he won’t read too much into it.

“Disappointed to not get 1 run with 14 balls but won't read too much (into it). The bite was there at the start and then the ball became softer as the seam wore off. It was not a game where you could play your shots, had to apply yourself and dig in. Proud of how we fought, was important to hold our nerve," said Rohit.
