India’s comprehensive victory over Sri Lanka, highlighted by a remarkable bowling performance from Mohammed Siraj, has bolstered the confidence of skipper Rohit Sharma ahead of the World Cup. Siraj’s figures of 6-21 contributed to Sri Lanka’s dismissal for a mere 50 runs in 15.2 overs, leading to a resounding 10-wicket victory in Colombo.
Indian bowlers, including pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and spinner Kuldeep Yadav, showcased their prowess throughout the 50-over tournament, serving as a valuable preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup, scheduled to commence on October 5 in India.
Rohit Sharma expressed his satisfaction, stating, “It gives us a lot of confidence to come here and win a tournament like this.” He emphasized the team’s ability to rise to various challenges, adapting to different conditions and bowling styles. “We can take a lot of positives from the tournament, not just for one or two players but for the entire squad. They did their job,” Rohit added.
