Abhishek Nayar on India’s Loss to Sri Lanka in 2nd ODI
India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar lashed out at the unexpected loss to Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI, saying that the wicket was taking a lot of spin and thus the match was over. The dice could be turned sideways. The Indian batsmen’s weakness against spin was exposed when they suffered a 32-run defeat in the second ODI. From the side of Sri Lanka, the leg spinner Jeffery Wanderse took six wickets and did not let the Indian batsmen tick.

Match Conditions and Performance
It was surprising,” Abhishek Nayar said in the post-match press conference, “but you know that in those kinds of conditions, the match could have turned either way because the pitch was getting a lot of spin.” India’s Matches 241 The target was run but his entire team was bowled out for 208 runs in 42.2 overs. Barring captain Rohit Sharma, the rest of the batsmen struggled to score runs. Abhishek Nayar said, “If you look at the first match too, scoring runs with the new ball was a little easier. It was not easy to bat after the ball got old, especially when you were batting late. It happens on some occasions in difficult situations, especially in the 50-over format.

Areas for Improvement
India’s assistant coach said that the team management will look into the things that have not gone in the team’s favor so far. He said, “We will look at things that need to be improved. We have to think about this, why did this happen in the second match? In the first match, we were successful in forming partnerships to some extent but in this match, we lost wickets continuously. Ke liye bheja but yeh teinon nahin chal pae.
Abhishek Nayar said, “I believe that batting position in the game matters only when you are playing in different phases of the match. We lost wickets in the middle overs and then the middle-order batsmen were batting. Mera manna tha ki aisa karna sahii tha aur jab yah nahi chal pata hai to akser question raised hain. I believe that if a middle-order batsman was batting in the middle-order then this decision was correct.
