Team India will be looking to end the ongoing ODI series on a high at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo today after tying the first match and losing the second one by 32 runs. Indian batsman’s inability to play spin bowling well has been one of the key reasons why the Men in Blue have been unable to get going in this series. However, ahead of the 3rd ODI, all-rounder Washington Sundar has said that the batsman have received a lot of inputs from coach Gautam Gambhir on facing quality spin bowling.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the 3rd ODI, Sundar said, “There’s been a lot of inputs from [Gambhir]. He’s a high-quality player of spin. We’ve always seen him putting up great performances on such wickets, especially against quality spin bowling. That’s one of the reasons we came out here today to practice, to try and find a way to do those little things tactically. We are really prepared to be on top of the game in all aspects tomorrow,”
“We’d love to get them out for 200 or less than that. We had them in that situation in both matches. With big tournaments coming up, we’ll be in similar situations, and it’s an opportunity for us to find a way to get the job done in crunch situations. We just need to put our hands up and win those critical situations in the game,” Sundar added
Gautam Gambhir was appointed the head coach last month, taking over from his former teammate Rahul Dravid. In his tutelage, the Men in Blue were able to whitewash the hosts in T20I leg of the ongoing series. Prior to this, he also mentored Kolkata Knight Riders to an IPL trophy earlier this year and helped Lucknow Super Giants to reach playoffs in two successive seasons.
