Washington Sundar on Gautam Gambhir: The tenure of the new head coach Gautam Gambhir started with a 3-0 win in the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, but Team India is seen struggling in the ODI series. Due to this, there is a threat of losing the first series in Gambhir's tenure. Sri Lanka has taken a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the second ODI and now the Indian team has the challenge of making a comeback by winning the last match. However, before this match, the team's all-rounder Washington Sundar has praised Team India's head coach Gambhir and told how he is helping Sri Lanka play spin in difficult conditions.

Sri Lanka has troubled the Indian batsmen with spin in both the ODIs so far. Team India starts well while chasing the target but then starts struggling in the middle overs as soon as the spinners come in. Chasing the target of 241 in the second ODI, India had scored 97 runs without any loss but from here the batsmen started struggling in front of Jeffrey Vandersay and 6 wickets fell one after the other. After this, Sri Lanka strengthened its hold and defeated Team India. In such a situation, from the third match, Washington Sundar mentioned the role of Gautam Gambhir to deal with the threat of spin.
