India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI Updates: Why Ishan Kishan didn't play 1st ODI?
Ishan Kishan did not play the 1st ODI and he might not also play the 2nd ODI due to team combinations. Rohit Sharma wants to play Shubman Gill at the top of the order and KL Rahul plays in the middle order. If Ishan Kishan has to play, Gill has to be dropped. But Gill has been performing consistently well for India. It would be wrong to drop him and could be demotivating for the batter. Rohit sees Gill as first selection in XI than Ishan and despite Ishan's 200 in Bangladesh, Gill starts in playing XI.
India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI LIVE Updates: Will Sky play this match?
Suryakumar Yadav did not play the first ODI despite scoring a ton in the third T20I vs Sri Lanka. That decision by Rohit Sharma surprised many. How can India drop a player like SKY who is in such top form. Will he play the 2nd ODI is a big question. He could have added extra runs in middle order for India in the first ODI, possibly taking the total past 400. But who would he replace? If Surya replaces KL Rahul, then Gill has to be dropped too as India need to find a wicketkeeper and Ishan Kishan will have to be played. Shreyas Iyer has to play as he has done no wrong and played match-winning knocks in Bangladesh. The Indian middle order is quite jampacked, that is why finding a place for SKY is difficult.
India vs SL 2nd ODI LIVE: Kohli makes a BIG statement
After his second back-to-back ton in ODIs, Virat Kohli opened up on his frustrations during a lull phase. Kohli went on to add it was when he understood he couldn’t avoid being himself and that he had to be true to himself and not be in denial.

Team India, led by Rohit Sharma, will be aiming to win the ODI series vs Sri Lanka when they take them on in the 2nd match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India won the 1st ODI by 67 runs at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday. Team India will take heart from the fact that their captain Rohit Sharma is back in form. He smashed 83 off 67 balls that included 9 fours and 3 sixes respectively. His opening partner Shubman Gill scored 70 off 60 balls that included 11 fours. But India's highest run-scorer was Virat Kohli, who smashed 113 off 87 deliveries that included 12 fours and 1 six respectively.
Thanks to Kohli and Rohit's brilliant knock, India posted 373 for 7 in 50 overs. Sri Lanka had to struggle hard in the big chase and in the end fell short by 67 runs. They came so close only because Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka's unbeaten 108 off 88 balls that included 12 fours an 3 sixes respectively. Pathum Nissanka smashed 72 off 80 balls that included 11 fours. But apart from these two, no one really stepped up and hence, Sri Lanka ended up on the losing side.
Sri Lanka will aim to bounce back and draw level in the series to ensure the series is alive.
