Abhishek Nayar said that the side will go back to understand what has gone wrong. "We want to go back and understand, and rectify, why it happened twice in a row. The day before yesterday, we were able to stitch partnerships but today we lost quite a few wickets in a bundle"

Shivam Dube in the end tried to take the team par the line but failed as he was nutmegged by Sri Lankan captain Charith Asalanka. Dube's innings ended with a score of 25 runs in 24 balls including 1 four and 2 sixes. Mohamed Shiraz went wicketless in the IND vs SL 1st ODI
