‘Well Done Team’: Rohit Sharma Lauds India’s ‘Perfect Start’ in Sri Lanka with 3-0 T20I Series Win
Rohit Sharma commends India’s T20I series win vs Sri Lanka
Rohit Sharma, who retired from the format last month, lauded the team’s dominant show to start the Sri Lanka tour.
India’s former T20I skipper Rohit Sharma congratulated the Suryakumar Yadav-led side on its series win against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. India defeated the hosts in a Super Over to affect a 3-0 whitewash in what was the beginning of Gautam Gambhir’s stint as the team’s head coach.
India could only muster 137 runs in the first innings after being asked to bat first. In reply, the Lankans took off well but collapsed towards the end of the chase. The likes of Rinku Singh and captain Suryaakumar Yadav showcased their spin-bowling talents, picking up 2 wickets apiece in the final couple of overs. The match ended in a tie and led to a Super Over where Washington Sundar restricted Sri Lanka to 2 for 2. The Indian captain then struck a boundary off the first ball to hand a thrilling win to the visitors.
Rohit Sharma, who retired from the format last month, lauded the team’s dominant show to start the Sri Lanka tour.
“Perfect start. Well done Team,” wrote Rohit on X, sharing the picture of Suryakumar Yadav & Co lifting the trophy.
Suryakumar, an attacking batsman who bowls off-spin, took two wickets in successive balls in his first outing as a bowler in T20 matches after Rinku also got the ball in the penultimate over for the first time in the shorter format.
“More than the last over, I feel when we were around 30-4, how the boys showed character, 140 was a par score on that track,” said the Indian skipper at the post-match presentation.
“I told, if we put our heart in, we could pull it off. The amount of skill they have, self-confidence, it makes my job easy. The positivity, the care for each other is unbelievable,” he added.
The two teams will now play three ODI matches as India await the return of skipper Rohit and Kohli in the 50-over series starting August 2.
