India’s Champions Trophy preparation hit with massive snag after defeat to Sri Lanka

India’s Champions Trophy preparation hit with massive snag after defeat to Sri Lanka

ICC Champions Trophy: 4 ODI matches remaining Team India needs to pick themselves up to prepare in full throttle for the ICC tournament

First a draw and then a loss. India Cricket Team‘s ICC Champions Trophy preparations have been massively hindered. Team India now has just 4 ODI matches remaining before the mega ICC Tournament. And Rohit Sharma’s team has a major task at their hands.

While India performed well in the ODI World Cup 2023. They went undefeated into the finals, only to lose the most important game to Australia. But nonetheless, two undesirable results against a weak opponent like Sri Lanka won’t do any good. In fact a win in the IND vs SL 3rd ODI is all India has to salvage in the series.

The first game ended in a tie, while the hosts secured a 32 run win in the next game. And with the ICC Champions Trophy 6 months away, India has just 4 ODI matches remaining to prepare for the tournament. The Men in Blue will surely a lot of T20Is and Test matches, but that won’t matter.

What Team India needs to do?

While India were outright dominant in the T20Is series, that hasn’t been in the case in the ODIs. Up next, in the series decider, India has no other option but to win the game at all costs. A series draw would still be enough compared to losing the entire series.

But most importantly, India needs to find their groove back into the game. Though the two pacers were missing, Jasprit Bumrah got an extended break while ODI World Cup star, Mohammed Shami is recovering form his injury, the team needs to fire on all cylinders.
