Sri Lanka vs India, 3rd ODI, India tour of Sri Lanka, 2021 - CommentarySL vs IND, 3rd ODI, India tour of Sri Lanka, 2021 - Commentary

Sajith: Team India's analysts need to sit Hardik Pandya down and show him how expensive his bouncers are. In this match alone, it's resulted in 13 runs and an extra delivery at the very least. Truly mediocre stuff.

Aamir Ashai: Fully agree with Anurag. It's promising to see young Sri Lankan team fight back after two consecutive losses. Zimbabwe too played good cricket today. Hope this confidence boosts the morale of both teams and we get to see some good cricket ahead.

Ashvarya: Considering all the factors, a loss here for this Indian team is rather a blessing in disguise as the amount of learning in a loss is generally more in comparison to a win.

Anurag: Apart from the one sided first match, Srilanka has performed a bit better than India. They could have won the last match and the series as well had they restricted the Chahar-Bhuvi partnership!

Manz: Wonderful display of batting by Srilanka

Abhishek Raj: Gowtham maiden wicket caught by Sakariya and Sakariya maiden wicket caught by Gowtham. What a coincidence !!

Manas: The only way India can win this is by bowling out Sri Lanka

Ayush: Missing Krunal's bowling very much today

Allen: If there is one thing this series has shown us, it's that Avishka Fernando is a brilliant batsman with a great future

Mir: @cb what is exactly 'loop' for a delivery? -- In cricketing terms, loop is nothing but the flight of a delivery. It's generally used when a bowler gives the ball more air-time in a bid to drag the batsman onto the front foot.

Apurav: Hardik Pandya seems to be having a bad day today. India is in deep trouble due to over-reliance on all-rounders to complete their whole quota in an ODI.

Aditya: This would have been a perfect pitch for Kuldeep Yadav to regain his confidence

DS: Rahul Chahar's 8 overs will be the deciding factor for team India

Yusuf: It's very important for Sri Lanka that Avishka holds one end and try to play till the end.

Atharva: Nitish Rana's overs should also be used very wisely today

Vaishnav: Indian spinners are going to play a very crucial role in this run chase

Sakar Joshi: India should introduce Rahul Chahar now to get an early breakthrough. -- Here he comes..

Raman: "I personally feel the upcoming T20 World Cup is to blame for the players playing this way because everyone is just trying to slog quickly and put their hat in the ring."

Arnie: "Hardik's spot is at risk if he doesn't start bowling well as if he's playing as a pure batter there is no need for him as India can play a superior batter like Dhawan or Rahul instead."

Dhruv: "Attacking is the only way to go. Collapses will happen initially, and may happen once in a while in the future too but to beat the current English team, the Dhoni way isn't going to work out."

Achyuth: "Problem with all these potential future candidates is that they are not showing temperament to play long innings without committing mistakes. Even though they are match winners on their day."

Yuvi: "Well, attacking is back firing for India, they really need someone like Dhoni or more and more collapses are going to happen in upcoming matches."

Vinod: "I wonder will Manish Pandey ever play ODIs again for India! Missed a golden opportunity."

Jonathan Varghese: "Prithvi Shaw has age on his side to mature and improve his temperament. But at the moment he is wasting good starts."

krish mehta: "SKY has looked the most comfortable player on sluggish tracks with something in it for the spinners. His mastery over the flick and the inside out shorts makes him a class apart."

Pranav: "'The perfect news of match starting again shortly' is like a review taken in the match where we were waiting for the ball tracking and nothing was coming up." -- Ah, well, we are united in your frustration

Sam: "Another chance for Manish Pandey. He should make it count and not let it slip away!"

George: Perfect opportunity for Samson to make a mark. In early in a no pressure game. Batting first. Good Pitch.
