The hosts prevailed over India with a 2–0 victory, marking their first winning streak against India since 1997.
Throughout the series, the Indian batsmen struggled against the Sri Lankan spinners and were dismissed in all three matches. Moreover, India’s bowlers lacked efficiency and failed to take wickets consistently.
Junaid believes that India’s bowling attack is too reliant on Jasprit Bumrah.
“Would you agree? Without Bumrah, India’s bowling is nil… #INDvSL #SLVSIND,” he wrote on X.
After the final match was over, Rohit Sharma was asked during the presentation ceremony if India was a bit happy with their approach. After all, they won the T20 World Cup over a month ago and faced a fragile Sri Lankan side in the T20I series.
Rohit didn’t seem to take kindly to the question and tried to dismiss such thoughts immediately. “No, it’s a joke. There’s no satisfaction when you play for India. “We looked at the conditions, we wanted to take away the ball and that’s why we went with our combination.
There were some positives in the whole series as well. As the bowlers turned, so did some of the batsmen in the middle.
The men in blue will be in action in Test cricket next when they take on Bangladesh in the two-match home series in Chennai and Kanpur.
