India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Rohit collects it from ACC president and BCCI secretary Jay Shah.
He then hands it to the younger players in the squad, as the Indian captains have done since
MS Dhoni began that tradition all those years back. Well, just over a month ago there were question
marks all over the Indian lineup but over the course of this tournament India have played with a
largely consistent XI. They have also shown that injuries to players, especially batters, is
nothing more than an opportunity for a very talented younger player on the sidelines. It means
that Shreyas Iyer may have to possibly fight for his place considering just how solid Ishan Kishan
has looked, regardless of where he has batted. Their bowling lineup is currently screaming firepower
thanks to Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav. So much so that someone of Mohammed Shami’s
calibre and experience is not getting a spot. They have won their eighth Asia Cup title on a canter
and sounded off a warning to all the other teams they will be hosting in the World Cup next month.
This is their home and they won’t be easy to beat. That’s it from us for today and for this tournament,
hope you had as much fun following it with us as we had in bringing it to you. Goodbye!
