Watershed day for Indian cricket! Fans slam after 27-year dominance over Sri Lanka ends in ODIs

Indian cricket fans, who have been enjoying their team's career highs, are now witnessing an unexpected rough patch. No one anticipated this, but the result is that India has lost to Sri Lanka in ODIs after 27 years.

The Indian batting lineup has fallen like bowling pins, one after another, from Shubman Gill’s duck to Rishabh Pant and Shivam Dube’s lackluster performances. After a sensational run in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the subsequent T20Is against Sri Lanka, India fell short, or rather, they were not even close in the ODIs this time. After 27 years of dominance, Sri Lanka has finally conquered the 50-over series with a 110-run victory over India in the third ODI.

In the three-match series, the first game ended in a tie, which was unexpected. The second setback came in the second ODI, where, just like today, India fell apart. Although Rohit Sharma is currently the new Sachin Tendulkar of the team, if he goes, everyone else seems to follow suit, this should not have been the case. Hitman has tried everything possible in the games he played, but other batters failed to contribute. From Virat Kohli to new names like Shivam Dube, everyone has crumbled in front of Sri Lankan spinners. The spin maestros really exposed them well. With this series loss, reactions are all over the place, and fans are expressing their anger. Here’s a look at the reaction to summarize ICT fans’ frustrations.
