India didn’t look best against host Sri Lanka in the 2nd ODI of the three-match International series as Sri Lankan spinner Jeffrey Vandersay ran over India’s batting line-up with his 6-fer. Apart from Sri Lanka’s victory, a controversy surrounding Virat Kohli also caught the eyes of the spectators. During the match, after losing Rohit Sharma, India’s chase responsibility was on Virat Kohli, but in the 15th over, a sharp off spin delivery bowled by Akila Dananjaya caught Virat Kohli in front of the wickets, and the on-field umpire gave him out. Virat went to the high table and asked for a review of the decision. The TV umpire found Joe Wilson and spectators clearly saw the ball touching the edge of the bat as the TV umpire overturned the on-field decision not to out.
However, the overturned decision didn’t go well with the host team players as they showed their dissatisfaction during the match. Wicket-keeper Kusal Mendis threw his helmet on the ground while skipper Charith Asalanka talked to the on-field umpire. In fact, Sri Lanka’s interim coach and veteran Sanath Jayasuriya had a brief conversation with the fourth umpire. Virat Kohli failed to utilize the opportunity as after 4 overs, he was dismissed by Jeffery Vandersay, who was crowned as a player of the match for his brilliant spell. Jeffery Vandersay picked 6 wickets in the match, and Sri Lanka won the match by 32 runs to lead the series 1-0.
Post-match, while Virat Kohli and other Indian players were shaking hands with opponents, the camera paused at the moment when Virat Kohli and Sanath Jayasuriya were shaking hands. It seemed that the two were having a conversation about something. It is still not clear what they talked about, but the conversation didn’t seem friendly.
