India's assistant coach Abhishek Nayar described the team's unexpected defeat to Sri Lanka in the second ODI as a shock, attributing it to spin-friendly conditions that drastically altered the match's outcome.
Leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay's six-wicket haul exposed India's frailty against spin, resulting in a 32-run loss. Chasing a target of 241, India collapsed to 208 all out in 42.2 overs.
Nayar acknowledged the team's struggle against spin, adding that they will review and correct their tactics for future games. ''We need to understand what went wrong and rectify why it happened twice in a row,'' he stated.
