Sri Lanka came out on top against India in the second match of the 3-match ODI series. Spinners Jeffrey Vandersay and Charith Asalanka proved to be too good for the Indian batting order as they took 9 wickets between them and massively helped the hosts in bowling out the visitors for 208 runs and complete a 32-run victory and also take the lead in the series.
  'When you lose a game, everything hurts. It's not just about those 10 overs (when India lost six wickets for 50 runs). You have to play consistent cricket and we failed to do that. Little disappointed but these things happen,' said Rohit in the post-match presentation. TRENDING NOW 'The reason I got 65 is because of the way I batted. When I am batting like that, there's a lot of risks taken. If you don't cross the line, you always feel disappointed. But I don't want to compromise on my intent. We understand nature of this surface, it gets really tough in the middle overs. You have to try to get as many as possible in the powerplay,' he concluded.
