India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 1st ODI: Five things that went wrong for the hosts

#2 Spinners were not used by Rohit Sharma

Kuldeep Yadav should have been brought into the attack early

Although Sri Lanka are not the same team they were a few years ago, they put up a spirited show and defeated the number two team in the ICC ODI Rankings.

However, as far as the hosts are concerned, they appeared to be a dysfunctional unit in all the aspects of the game.

It was Rohit Sharma's first game as a skipper but he failed on more than one count. He did not make use of his bowlers effectively as he kept persisting with Hardik Pandya and did not try out spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal.

Although Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah got early breakthroughs in the form of Danushka Gunathilaka and Lahiru Thirimanne, they could not match up to the show put up by Thisara Perera's pacers earlier in the day.

Sri Lanka spinners Akila Dhanajaya and Sachith Pathirana were used by Perera after Lakmal's 10 overs were exhausted and claimed a wicket each to add to India's woes.
