India vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI, Sri Lanka tour of India, 2017 - CommentaryIND vs SL, 2nd ODI, Sri Lanka tour of India, 2017 - Commentary

Samar: Today ineffectiveness and struggle of our bowlers is hidden behind the Shine of Rohit's 208.

RAJA REDDY: Oh God!!!!!!! I haven't seen such a boring innings like this.

Nithin TS: Chahal has unique knack of picking wickets had we tried in in first match things would have been different -- Let's not camp in the past.

Huzefa: The only objective of Sri Lanka now is to reduce the margin of defeat

Venkateshwaran: "At this point both teams aren't all that far apart on runs." -- Well, a hurricane has to touchdown again

Anurag Trivedi: "Angelo is an experienced player, someone should try to bat around him if they want to reach close."

Tharan: "Dickwella may not have done enough to take SL home but he seems to have done enough to get himself an IPL contract."

Javed: "If the pair can keep the RRR under 10, it could get interesting towards the end." -- Just that the RRR has already gone past 10

Dipal: "What is the minimum number of deliveries to take first wicket in ODI?" -- Oh people have got it off their first

Shailley: "Thirimanne looks like a serious misfit in ODIs. An aimless attempt to get on with the game with a reverse sweep to a yorker."

Anant: "It would've made sense to give Washington the new ball, given how well he's done in the IPL and the TNPL while opening the bowling."

Sagar Chougale: "The Rohit's 3 double ton total is = 681, even higher than Muralitharan (674) and McGrath(115) in their entire career."

Sourav Bhatia: "Thirimanne should have been demoted here.. Sri Lanka should have considered making full use of the powerplays here and Thiri does not look like a correct number 3 for this situation.."

JAY: "If there were cricketers on currency note: Rs. 50 - MS Dhoni Rs. 100 - Virat Kohli Rs. 200 - Rohit Sharma" -- Before they get demonetized ;)

Chaitanya: "Smart move by Rohit, bowling Pandya ahead of Bumrah. The more number of overs Bumrah gets towards the end, the harder it will be for Sri Lanka to chase."

Sahil: "Time to put Rohit Sharma's picture on the 200 rupee note?"

Harsha Bhogle: A third double for Rohit. When the conditions are in his favour, he is really quite unmatched.

Vinu: "Only Rohit could churn out possible 200s from absolutely nowhere." -- And to imagine he got his first 100 runs in the 40th over

Bhavesh: "Seems the Lankas have already lost all hopes... The bowling unit seems so deflated."

Cricket Fan: "Cricket does it's bit to even out Lakmal's bowling figures after the last match."

Gowtham: "Cant understand the logic of holding back the day's best bowler Mathews for such a long time.."

Babu Singh: "It has become a case where today's number three could well become the future number four."

Sachin Bansal: "If India don't get somewhere around 350, they would be really disappointed after back to back 100+ partnerships right at the top."

Shikha: Mumbai conquers Mohali!!

Shobhit: "@Kupps: There's also no Uthappa to keep giving Rohit the strike, first ball of every over!"

Raja: "Must say Shreyas Iyer has a very unique technique against spin."

Kupps: "Enough time for Rohit to get to his double right?" -- He always has time. But there isn't Kohli to run-out.

Shriram: "Rohit's getting into THAT MOOD. Very slowly though." -- Yeah, non-violent is the word. Thus far..

JP: "What this situation does is allows Iyer to go about his natural game without any pressure. Couldn't ask for easier situations to cement your place in the side."

Hari: "Give them a flat pitch. All these batsmen come to the party." -- Well every batsman from every generation comes under 'these' flat track bullies

Parvez: "One of the greatest sights in cricket is when Rohit gets in to his zone."

Srinidhi: "It was very important for SL to pick up early wickets. Now I feel they are in search of bowlers who can get them wickets. With this defensive field, it looks very unlikely."

Ram: "Very defensive captaincy here from Sri Lanka. A couple of shots and all the fielders are spread."

Apk: "Well, once again Perera came to bowl and increase the run-rate."

Maitrey Trivedi: "27/7 vs 27/0. Already a great comeback by team India!"

Bapu: "So is the run-rate slow, or the wicket bad?" -- The wicket is slow for sure. How about some credit to the bowlers too..

V Iyer: "In spite of all the criticism over Mathews opening the bowling, his figures of 4-1-9-0 in the modern day game is exceptional."

Chinmay Lath: "@Umesh - Totally second you mate! Too much thinking! Sometimes it is just not that complicated."

Umesh Upreti: "What's up with Indian cricket fans smelling a conspiracy in everything?" -- Exactly. And btw I am still disappointed with Vinod Kambli being dropped

Lord Buckethead: "It feels that management is experimenting for the sake of it. They are solving a problem which doesn't exist while the middle order woes continue."

Little Sunny: "@vinay - Team management do have their own plans. They are taking Rahane as a third opener and not as middle order batsman in ODI. So let them try permutations and combinations for no.4 to no.6."

Habib: "What wrong did Kuldeep do to get dropped? He didn't get to bowl and after Dhoni was probably India's best batsman in the last game." -- Well he did play that ghastly shot. The management is also into experimentation mind you.

Vinay: "So India seem happy to give out new debut caps but have a problem taking Rahane, who was the Man of the Series in West Indies."
