In this ODI series, all the players from Sri Lanka performed very well and played an important role in their team’s victory. Indian players failed to perform well in the ODI series.

Not only this, India’s spinners also left their mark in this ODI series. However, the team’s fast bowlers could not perform well in the ODI series. Now the Champions Trophy 2025 is also to be played and before this important tournament it is very important for India to improve its fast bowling. Today we tell you about three main things that the Indian team needs to improve after losing the ODI series against Sri Lanka. 1- The players of the Indian team will now have to leave their mark KL Rahul (Image Credit- Twitter X) KL Rahul was dropped from the playing XI in the third ODI against Sri Lanka. KL Rahul’s performance has always been very good in the last two years and he has strengthened the middle order of the Indian team, but in this ODI series, the experienced player failed to perform well. Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer also failed to make a mark in this series, while Shubman Gill got a start but could not convert it into a big score. These three players were the strong side of the Indian team in the 2023 ODI World Cup, but they were a complete flop in the ODI series played against Sri Lanka.

Virat fans are worried whether their star batsman will show form in the final match or not. It is worth noting that Virat Kohli is going through a very bad form in this T20 World Cup 2024. Kohli’s bat, which spewed fire in IPL 2024, is not able to work its magic in this mega tournament. If we look at Virat Kohli’s contribution in this year’s World Cup, he has scored only 75 runs for the team in seven matches. In the semi-final of the T20 World Cup i.e. India vs England, Kohli could score only 9 runs. In that match, Kohli was having difficulty in touching the ball with his bat. Fans and Team India would like him to do something amazing in the final match. But there is a possibility that Kohli’s bat will fail once again in the final match of the World Cup. Team India is not worried about Virat Kohli’s form Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has said that he has no concerns about Virat Kohli’s current form. Let’s read his full statement – “I am not worried about Virat Kohli’s form, because the form of the entire team is more important. Of course India will win the T20 World Cup 2024. India has played T20 cricket in a modern way and the result is that they are in the final.” Sanjay Manjrekar believes that this time captain Rohit Sharma has led Team India with a very fearless approach. In such a situation, he feels that this new strategy will get India their World Cup trophy after a long time. Which 3 South African players will be a threat to India? Sanjay Manjrekar has named South African fast bowlers Anrique Norkhia, Kagiso Rabada, and Quinton de Kock as the biggest threat to India.
