If Rohit Sharma had harsh words to say in the aftermath of Wednesday’s 110-run drubbing at the R Premadasa Stadium, it was entirely within the confines of the changing room. In public, he conceded that his team had played poor cricket but that the loss of one series was not the ‘end of the world’.
Rohit was an honourable exception during a One-Day International series where India’s famed batting line-up was blown away by Sri Lanka’s plethora of top-class spinners. Dunith Wellalage was the star on Wednesday with a five-wicket haul, consigning India to their first series loss in this country since 1997.
