Background

Hello and welcome to ABP's live coverage of India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI. The Men in Blue will be playing against the Sri Lankan lions in the second ODI on Thursday at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India outplayed Sri Lanka in the first game after scoring a huge total of 373 runs. Virat Kohli amassed his 45th century in ODIs and dominated with the bat. The good thing is skipper Rohit Sharma also came back in form as he gave a terrific start to the team by scoring 83 runs in just 67 balls.

Sri Lanka on the other hand lost the match even though their skipper played a blinder of an inning. They will be looking to bounce back in the second ODI in Kolkata.

We're here in Kolkata for the 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka.
