Twitter Reacts As Sri Lanka Stun India To Win Second Consecutive Game In Asia Cup 2022 Super 4s

The 3rd match of the Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 stage was played between Rohit Sharma-led India National Cricket Team and Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka National Cricket Team at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, September 6.

Sri Lanka National Cricket Team defeated India National Cricket Team by 6 wickets to get one step closer to securing a spot in the final of the tournament. This was the 7th match in the ongoing Asia Cup that has been won by the team chasing the target.

Earlier, Sri Lanka National Cricket Team continued the ‘win the toss and bowl first’ tradition in the tournament and asked India National Cricket Team to bat first in the match.

The Lankan Team made no changes to the playing XI. On the other hand, the Men In Blue made one change as veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin replaced young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in the playing XI.

Batting first, Team India were off to an awful start and the attacking brand of cricket was nowhere to be seen. KL Rahul failed once again and scored just 6 runs before getting dismissed in the second over. Virat Kohli, who was heading into the match with a lot of momentum on his side, got out for a 4-ball duck in the third over of the innings.

However, captain Rohit Sharma and middle-order batsman Suryakumar Yadav helped India make an astonishing comeback in the match. They added 97 runs in 58 balls before Rohit Sharma got dismissed in the 13th over. The 35-year-old played a fantastic knock of 72 runs off 41 balls, including 5 fours and 4 sixes.

After the wicket of Rohit, India lost wickets at regular intervals and in the end, Ravichandran Ashwin’s 15 runs cameo helped India post 173/8 on the board.

Chasing the target, Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka provided Sri Lanka with an absolutely sensational start and they added 97 runs together.

Star leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal helped India make a comeback in the match by picking the big wickets of Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka and Pathum Nissanka. Soon Ravichandran Ashwin also dismissed Danushka Gunathilaka.

In the end, Dasun Shanaka (33) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (25) played terrific innings against the Indian bowlers, who were struggling in the match, and chased down the target in the 20th over.

Here’s How Twitter Reacted To India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup Clash:

BCCI will announce another IPL during the World Cup.

Top overseas players will turn up.

Dhawan will lead India, and win the WC.#IndvsSL

All ?? pacers failed today, only Arshdeep was better than everyone else in the death overs.

This lad should definitely get a spot in the T20 WC. Being THIS consistent in death overs is not a joke.

— Sritama (Ross Taylor’s version) (@cricketpun_duh) September 6, 2022

Each day passing and I miss mahi in the team ?

— HH12 (@Hip_hop_india12) September 6, 2022

About time going forward India has a separate selection panel for T20s. In the current lot (one position is vacant with T20 WC just month away) only one has been part of national/franchise set-up in recent times. You can't have a chairman who played cricket in 80s pick T20 team.

India have been short of fire in the end-overs. No fangs. It is a concern

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) September 6, 2022

Shanaka misses ball. Pant misses throw. Arshdeep misses throw. Shanaka misses bat.

Sri Lanka win amidst all this.

Kya matlab IND v PAK 3-match series complete nahi hoga. ?

— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer) September 6, 2022

If Pakistan beat Afghanistan tomorrow, India is out of Asia Cup 2022.

Well Done Sri Lanka ????…

— Dimuth Karunarathna (@IamDimuth) September 6, 2022

We are not even in the Top 3 teams in Asia. ???

— Manya (@CSKian716) September 6, 2022

IND might have lost again today, but Arshdeep was outstanding in the 2 last overs that he has bowled. He's bowled like someone with years of experience & not someone who's only 10 matches old in International cricket. Having the skill is one thing, but he has the temperament too.

— Gurkirat Singh Gill (@gurkiratsgill) September 6, 2022

It was in Sri Lanka that an Indian contingent once said that they could pick a second or third team and succeed in any venue in the world. How times change.

Again Choked in a Big Tournament!
Just Winning Bilaterals won't make a team great!

Now Almost out of Asia Cup ?#INDvsSL

India's fate in the Asia Cup is now in Pakistan's hands.

If Pakistan beat Afghanistan tomorrow then India will be out of the tournament #AsiaCup2022 #Cricket

When you have a player like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, defeat is certain.

Bhuvi might as well hold up a neon sign above his head before each ball saying ‘full, outside off’. Ridiculous over. Game over. Tournament over. #INDvSL #INDvsSL #AsiaCup2022 ?????

A billion bucks won’t be enough for these losers to atleast win Asia Cup. Our team is fucking overrated and it is proved in 2017, 2019, 2021 and this tournament. Time to shift to some other sport so they would bring some glory either #INDvsSL #AsiaCup2022 pic.twitter.com/mDzsPQSzNA

What is the point of so called IPL and all that bullshit if you have to lose like this @BCCI . Shameful performance, need sto set accountability from coach to captain.#INDvSL #INDvsSL
