A change in batting sequence roughly cost India a second ODI opposite Sri Lanka before they scraped by currently though visiting captain Virat Kohli pronounced he has no regrets about his preference as any skipper would have wanted to give a possibility to other batsmen in that situation.
From 113 for 1 in a 17th over, India were reduced to 131 for 7 in a 22nd over with poser spinner Akila Dananjaya holding 6 wickets in a marvellous spell and a visiting side were looking down a barrel.
But a 100-run partnership between Mahendra Singh Dhoni (45 not out) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (53 not out) for a consecutive eighth wicket ensured that India kick Sri Lanka by 3 wickets and go adult 2-0 in a five-match series.
As India were cruising during a sprightly gait in a commencement of their run follow (231 from 47 overs underneath Duckworth-Lewis method), Kohli done changes in a batting sequence with himself entrance down to fifth container from his common one-down spot.
But asked about this after a match, Kohli pronounced he has no regrets about his preference to change a batting order.
“When you’re 110 for 1 in a follow of 230, we wish to give everybody a possibility to bat. we don’t have any regrets. If we had come during No. 3, we would have still missed that round since he (Akila Dananjaya) was bowling that well,” Kolhi, who was discharged for usually 4 runs, said.
“It was utterly an sparkling diversion of cricket, fans and players contingency have been entertained. It is good for us to come by eventually. Two 100-run partnerships in a follow of 230 with 7 wickets, that’s utterly bizarre. This kind of thing does not occur in this diversion often,” he added.
He gave credit to unheralded poser spinner Akila Dananjaya, who took 6 for 54 from his 10 overs to mutilate massacre of a Indian innings.
“We suspicion he was a off-spinner with a good leg-break, though he got 4 wickets off googlies. We’ll be some-more clever subsequent time. Credit to him for pitching a round in a right areas.”
Dananjaya, who got married yesterday only, got a man-of-the-match award.
“The off-spin was working, so invariably used a variations. we came behind to a hotel during around 11pm final night,” he said.
