India win ODI series against Sri Lanka


Despite the humiliating loss in the test series, India have managed to clinch the ODI series against Sri Lanka though not very convincingly. The fact that the Indians have managed to lift the trophy shows their determination to fact the Sri Lankan spin threat. The deadly spin duo - Muralitharan and Mendis did threaten the Indian batsmen but they did not get enough assistance from other bowlers to restrict India to a low total. The Indian batsmen played with caution against the duo and smashed others all around. The series is yet another example of Dhoni's leadership and his ability to marshal his player's strengths. The good thing about the series is the team effort. Everyone played some crucial role in some or the other situation. In the end, Dhoni was declared the Man of the Series for some excellent captaincy and great batting.
