India vs Sri Lanka 2017: 3rd ODI, 5 talking points

#2 MS Dhoni once again halts the slide after Dananjaya's strikes

Dananjaya once again looked threatening early in his spell

Only two days back, Akila Dananjaya had spun a web around these Indian batsmen and nearly churned out a victory for the hosts from nowhere. He was at it yet again here at Pallekele, mixing up his off-breaks, googlies and sliders with utmost care. However, it was one short, to-be-dumped delivery that earned him his first wicket, that of Lokesh Rahul.

In the very next over, he trapped Jadhav in front to nab his second wicket in the game and reduce India to 61/4. But MS Dhoni, who had manoeuvred him excellently in the second ODI, unleashed his firefighter self upon Sri Lanka yet again. Alongside Rohit Sharma, the former skipper guided India to a comfortable victory.
