England won the series by winning the second match of the three-match ODI series between England and Sri Lanka. The English team won both the matches by a huge margin and won the second match by 8 wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Due to this defeat, a shameful world record in One Day International cricket has been registered in the name of Sri Lankan team.

In fact, the Sri Lankan team has become the team that lost the most matches in One Day International cricket. Sri Lanka has overtaken its neighboring country India in this matter. Before this series, the Indian team was at the top in terms of losing the most ODI matches, but after losing two consecutive matches, the Sri Lankan team has come on top. Sri Lanka lost the 428th match against England and thus Sri Lanka became the country to lose the most matches in ODI cricket.

At the same time, if we talk about the team that played the most One Day International matches, then this record is in the name of India, which has played 993 matches so far. At the same time, the Australian team is at number two, which has played 955 matches so far, but the Kangaroo team has lost only 333 matches so far. The team that plays the most ODI matches at number three is Pakistan, which has played 933 matches, out of which 414 matches have been lost. Sri Lanka has played 860 matches and lost 428 matches.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
