The second match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka is being played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. In this match, Sri Lanka won the toss and batted first. During the last over of Sri Lanka's innings, a big trick was seen from Team India captain Rohit Sharma. What he did to change a wrong decision of the umpire surprised everyone. At the same time, fans are also praising Rohit Sharma for this trick.

Rohit Sharma made a great move

Arshdeep Singh was bowling during the last over of Sri Lanka's innings. Kamindu Mendis was on strike on the fourth ball of his over.

During this, umpire Paul Rieffel declared the ball going on the leg side as wide. But the players of Team India believed that the ball had hit something. But in international cricket, any team can take a review i.e. DRS only to change the decision of out or not out.

In such a situation, Rohit Sharma took a big decision and he appealed for LBW and accepted the review from umpire Paul Rieffel. It was clear in the replay that the ball was touching the glove, so the third umpire asked the onfield umpire to overturn the wide. However, the team lost this review as well, because the batsman was not LBW, which probably the players of Team India also knew.

But Rohit thought it better to lose the review to save 1 run.

Sri Lankan team scored 240 runs

Like the last match, this time too the Indian bowlers were successful in giving initial setbacks to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka lost 6 wickets for just 136 runs. But after this, a strong performance was seen from the lower order of Sri Lanka, due to which the team managed to score 240 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 50 overs. At the same time, Washington Sundar was the most successful bowler for India with 3 wickets.

Let us tell you, the first match of the series ended in a tie. In such a situation, Team India would like to win this match and take the lead in the series.
