“Virat Kohli has played across the line once again. Yes, he knows that (his mistake). That’s something that he is being getting out to quite regularly, playing across the line nowadays. Looking to play towards square leg, not even looking to play towards mid-on, and that’s what gets him into trouble,” said Sunil Gavaskar.

Wake Up Call for India
Head Coach Rahul Dravid needs to have conversations with the batting unit as in the 1st ODI, KL Rahul & Ravindra Jadeja bailed out where the target was only 189 runs. It won’t be a bad idea to make Ravindra Jadeja bat ahead of Hardik Pandya where he could provide stability to the team in the middle overs.
Yuzvendra Chahal could be an option for the 3rd ODI as the leg spinner has the knack for picking wickets in clusters. With the series online, the management needs to make some bold decisions as Suryakumar Yadav has had a torrid last 10 ODI innings where Ishan Kishan could be given another chance.
