After the 4-wicket victory in the second ODI against Sri Lanka, Team India captain Rohit Sharma said, “It was a very close match. The good thing is that we are standing on the winning side. The team has depth in their batting which comes in handy in such contests. Yes, the kind of batting that KL Rahul and Hardik did today is commendable.
During this, when commentator Harsha Bhogle asked Rohit whether he needed a left-handed batsman in the top order, Rohit replied, "Well, we need a left-handed batsman, but not necessarily."

Looking at the pitch, we can see a change in the team in the next match. We have a long season ahead of us and it is important to keep players fresh.
Praising Kuldeep Yadav, captain Rohit Sharma said, “Kuldeep just comes and gives his best. Literally got us back in the game. He was batting run-a-ball and Kuldeep, as we have often seen, comes and gets wickets. He is amazing as a bowler and it is definitely a good sign for the team.
