It's been a while and no one discussed about the humiliating defeat by SL after 27 years. GG era began with bang in T20I but in ODI we got completely destroyed by a team that has only 3 batters, what a pathetic batting display by Indians except Rohit who always been an exception in any condition.
Will they drop Gill after this? Clearly there are better contenders for that position in ODI.
Your thoughts?
India is a bilateral bully so it won't hurt much if they lose a few here and there. In recent times, they've lost only 3 white ball series, each against AUS, BAN, and now SL.
There are 2 types of narratives, one is when India wins any bilateral then these series are called useless but when they lose, everyone seems to upset with the team.
Having said that, our batters do have a problem against spin in the test but It didn't come out in the open much in the white ball cricket and this series changed that so clearly need to work on that. Gill is blue eyed boy so he'll get a long rope, at the same time window is slightly open for Jaiswal in the next 3 matches (before CT).
Bumrah and Shami will make a comeback in the ICC tournament so not worried about the bowling department much.
