In the second ODI between India and Sri Lanka, Jeffrey Vandersay's six-wicket haul put India on the backfoot, despite a strong start led by captain Rohit Sharma's 64 off 44 balls. Virat Kohli, trapped LBW by Vandersay for 14 runs, also contributed with a run-out of Akila Dananjaya and a celebratory Bihu dance after taking a catch. The game saw Sri Lanka posting a target of 241 runs, with contributions from Avishka Fernando, Kamindu Mendis, and Dunith Wellalage. Washington Sundar emerged as the pick of the bowlers for India with three wickets. Despite the camaraderie and on-field antics, India faced a challenging chase, needing 84 runs to win off 138 balls with four wickets in hand at one point.
