A wake-up call

It was painful to watch India concede defeat to Sri Lanka in the T-20 match in Pune on Tuesday. After the 3-0 whitewash Down Under, the men in blue seemed complacent and reckless.

It was painful to watch India concede defeat to Sri Lanka in the T-20 match in Pune on Tuesday. After the 3-0 whitewash Down Under, the men in blue seemed complacent and reckless. Indian wickets fell like ninepins before a second-rung Sri Lankan bowling attack. It is a cause for worry that despite an enviable batting lineup, spinner R. Ashwin made the highest score — 31 runs. M.S. Dhoni should treat this as a wake-up call ahead of the T-20 World Cup in March 2016.
