Team India is playing in their final ODI game of 2024 today and this really is a big occasion for the men in blue. The game against Sri Lanka has commence already and the stakes are high on this one.
India is already trailing 1-0 in the tournament and winning the series is ruled out already. The best result from here for India is tying the series by winning this game.
Heartbreak For India: Vinesh Phogat Disqualified
If India fail to win the game today, Sri Lanka will create history by beating India on home soil for the first time in 27 years. This is beyond any comprehensible logic.
Gautam Gambhir was hyped big time ahead of his arrival as the head coach and hence, at least tying the ODI series against Sri Lanka is going to be a bare minimum.
Players Should Be Responsible: Ind Coach After Defeat
Being the last ODI that India is facing this year, winning this last game is also psychologically important. The upcoming series against Bangladesh, New Zealand and Australia only have T20s and tests.
So, all in all this final ODI game against Sri Lanka has gained unusually high prominence. India has struggled to bat second in this series and incidentally, they will have to set this right if things are to change.
