A 3 match ODI series is being played between India and Sri Lanka. In the second match, Sri Lanka defeated Team India and took a 1-0 lead in the series. With this defeat, Team India has seen such a bad day after 18 years since Gautam Gambhir came.

The second match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka was played in Colombo. In this match, Team India had to face a shameful defeat. Sri Lanka's team scored only 241 runs and defeated India by 32 runs. With this victory, Sri Lanka has taken a 1-0 lead in the series. The first match of this series was a tie, which means that Team India cannot win this series now. If captain Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir's team perform well in the last ODI, then the series can be tied at 1-1 at the most. On the other hand, Sri Lanka will also have a chance to win it. This is the first time such a big accident has happened with Team India after Gautam Gambhir became the coach.

I saw such a day after 18 years

This is only the sixth match of Team India after Gautam Gambhir's arrival. In the same number of days, Team India has played two tie matches and now for the first time in 18 years, it is facing such a bad performance. Actually, for the last 18 years, the Indian team has been continuously winning the ODI series against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka. This is the first time since 2006 that Team India has not won any series in Sri Lanka.

Earlier, under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid, the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka ended in a 0-0 draw. At that time also, Team India had gone for a 3-match ODI series, in which all three matches had to be cancelled due to rain. However, this time under the coaching of Gambhir, India has reached the verge of losing.

India lost after 12 years despite Rohit and Virat

After Gautam Gambhir's arrival, it seems that Team India has been cursed with an evil eye. Along with the grief of not winning the series, another bad thing happened with Team India. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the pillars of the Indian team for more than a decade. Now Sri Lanka has toppled that pillar as well. This is the first time in the last 12 years that Team India lost an ODI match in Sri Lanka despite both the legendary batsmen being in the playing XI.
