yes I dont get why they dint include Jaiswal. Bumrah toh got well deserved rest but jaiswal??

BCCI wants to saves him for test matches but he has some issue with Rohit sharma who not wants him in "any white ball because he played his way". Did you notice

He was in WC team but Rohit & dravid not let him to play any game was the prime reason BCCI not selectes him no longer In white ball.

We are losing to this SL team

Asalanka has a big smile with his arms aloft, Vandersay raises his right hand and then prays. Jayasuriya is pumped up. Time for the handshakes as Sri Lanka take a 1-0 lead. Lots of similarities to the previous match, but we have a clear winner tonight. Opting to bat, they were in a precarious situation at 136/6, but once again Dunith Wellalage and the lower-order bailed them out of trouble to post a challenging total. In reply, captain Rohit got off the blocks quickly and notched up his second fifty of the series and once inside the first powerplay as India raced away to 76/0.

Rohit attempted a reverse-sweep against Vandersay and perished, thanks to a superb catch from Nissanka. After that, India crumbled against the leggie who replaced an injured Hasaranga. He spun a web around the Indian batters and accounted for the first six wickets as the visitors slipped from 97/0 to 147/6. It was an incredible spell from the wristspinner who eventually finished with career best figures. With Vandersay out of the attack, Axar and Washington Sundar started to build a partnership. Asalanka removed both the all-rounders in quick succession and those were the killer blows from the Sri Lankan captain.

The defeat ends India's sequence of 11 consecutive bilateral series (2+ matches) wins in ODIs against Sri Lanka. The last time India failed to win a bilateral rubber against Sri Lanka was in Dec 1997.
