3rd ODI: When You're Playing For India, There's No Complacency, Says Rohit After Series Loss To Lanka
Rohit Sharma: After a 110-run defeat to Sri Lanka in the third ODI and losing the series 2-0, India captain Rohit Sharma brushed aside suggestions that the visitors were complacent in their approach. After the first ODI was tied, India were outplayed by Sri Lanka in the next two matches to lose a bilateral series to the island nation for the first time since August 1997.
“No, it's a joke. When you're playing for India, there's no complacency. We have to give credit where it is due, Sri Lanka played better than us,” said Rohit in the post-match presentation ceremony.
What would concern India greatly is the lack of application and judgement in playing against spinners on pitches offering turn and grip. If it was Jeffrey Vandersay’s six-for wrecking India on Sunday, on Wednesday it was Dunith Wellalage’s five-for that left India bamboozled.
