SL vs IND: India made these two big mistakes in the first ODI, if the same mistake happens again in the next match then it may have to lose the series
The second ODI match between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 4. SL vs IND (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first match of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and India (SL vs IND) ended in a tie. The hosts batted first and scored 230 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. In response, Team India was all out for 230 runs in 47.5 overs while chasing the target. Charith Aslanka saved the match from going into India’s bag by dismissing Shivam Dubey and Arshdeep Singh in the 48th over. This match was nothing less than a nightmare for Rohit Sharma and company, as the team could not register a win despite being in control in both the innings. Let us tell you about the two mistakes due to which India had to face defeat, and also tell you about a masterstroke that the team did right during the first ODI. SL vs IND: Masterstroke – Rohit Sharma’s batting in the powerplay Indian captain Rohit Sharma was once again seen giving the team a stormy start. Rohit played his shots beautifully against both pace and spinner bowlers in the powerplay. Shubman Gill, batting from the other end, did not look anything special. There was a partnership of 75 runs between the two for the first wicket. Shubman Gill scored 16 runs in 35 balls, while Rohit Sharma played an innings of 58 runs in 47 balls with the help of 7 fours and 3 sixes. SL vs IND: India made these two mistakes during the first ODI match- 1. Shivam Dubey gave more strike to Mohammad Siraj When Mohammed Siraj came to bat, India needed 20 runs to win, and more than five overs were left. Shivam Dubey was completely set and it seemed that the team could easily win this game. Dubey and Siraj played 19 balls in their partnership, out of these balls, Siraj played 11 balls. Shivam Dubey is a good player of spin, he could have made things easier for the team by coming forward and playing more balls in this partnership, but he did not do anything like that. 2. Arshdeep Singh’s wrong shot When Arshdeep Singh came to bat, the team needed 1 run to win and had one wicket in hand. Arshdeep tried to play a slog-sweep shot, which was not the right shot against an off-spinner. Arshdeep could have easily taken a run by hitting the ball on any side of the ground, but he did not show his understanding and India had to face defeat.

“There is no point in creating a ruckus”- Former Pakistani legend said on India coming to Pakistan for Champions Trophy
Champions trophy 2025 (Image Credit- Twitter Saqlain Mushtaq reacts to Team India, Champion Trophy 2025: Former veteran spinner Saqlain Mushtaq has given his reaction on India coming to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Champions Trophy will be played in Pakistan in February-March next year. Pakistan is preparing to host its first ICC tournament since the 1996 ODI World Cup, which is a major milestone for the country’s cricket. Regarding this, BCCI has already made it clear that it will not send Team India to Pakistan to participate in the tournament without the permission of the government. This decision of BCCI has angered Pakistani fans as well as some former cricketers there. Now former spinner Saqlain Mushtaq has given his sharp reaction on this matter. Saqlain Mushtaq made a big statement on India’s visit to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy Mushtaq believes that it does not matter whether the Indian team will come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy or not. He is confident that the ICC will take the right steps to make the tournament a success. Cricket Pakistan quoted Saqlain Mushtaq as saying, ‘The simple thing is that if India wants to come, it can come. If they don’t want to come, that’s okay. There is no point in making a fuss about it. It will not make any side good or bad. It is an ICC event and they will look into the matter, as they should. Let us tell you that Pakistan also got the hosting of Asia Cup 2023. But Team India refused to go to Pakistan to play the tournament. After this the tournament was played in a hybrid model, under which Sri Lanka was also made the co-host of the tournament. Team India played all its matches in Sri Lanka. The BCCI has proposed to the ICC to conduct the Champions Trophy 2025 under a hybrid model. If this happens, the Indian team will play all its matches in Sri Lanka or the UAE.

It looked like this till half the match. But, Sri Lanka made a great comeback and tied the match.

When Arshdeep Singh came in as the last batsman, India needed 1 run in 14 balls and he tried to hit a big shot and got LBW. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir’s faces turned disappointed Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave India a great start in this match. But after the dismissal of these two, the middle order faltered completely. After this, KL Rahul, Axar Patel and Shivam Dubey played useful innings in the lower order. Shivam took India to the threshold of victory. When he equalized the score by hitting a four, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir sitting in the dressing room started celebrating. pic.twitter.com/CPDfTO8ljT — The Game Changer (@TheGame_26) August 3, 2024 There was laughter on both their faces. But, both of them probably did not know what was going to happen next. Shivam got out on the next ball and after this Arshdeep came as the last batsman. As soon as he came, he tried to hit a big shot on the first ball and the ball went straight to the pad and the umpire raised his finger. During this, many fans also said that Arshdeep Singh was going to become a hero by hitting a winning six like Dhoni. However, instead of becoming a hero, he definitely became a zero.
