Cuttack, December 20: With their charismatic captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni serving a two-match ban, the Indian cricket team under stand-in skipper Virender Sehwag will have to pull out all the stops to regain their lead when they lock horns with Sri Lankan in the third one-dayer here tomorrow.
As if poor fielding and bowling were not bad enough, the home side received a rude jolt when their inspirational skipper and last match centurion Dhoni was handed a two-match ban for the team’s slow-over rate in the second ODI in Nagpur.
To add to India’s woes, Yuvraj, who missed the first two games due to a finger injury and flu, still remains doubtful even though he has been retained in the 15-member squad.
