India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2022: Twitter slams Men in Blue after back-to-back losses in Super Four

India suffered a sixth wicket loss against Sri Lanka as the Asia Cup 2022 favourites slump to their second consecutive defeat of the Super Four stages in Dubai on Tuesday. India earlier suffered a five-wicket loss to Pakistan on Sunday.

India had two highlight performances on the day in captain Rohit Sharma’s 41-ball 72 with the bat and Yuzvendra Chahal’s 3/34 in the second innings. Openers Kusal Mendis (57) and Pathum Nissanka (52) constructed the base for the 174-run chase before Dashun Shanaka (33*) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa (25*) ensured Sri Lanka win. Earlier, Dilshan Madushanka (3/24), Chamika Karunaratne (2/27) and Shanaka (2/26) were the pick among bowlers for the winning side.

Following two losses, the Indian team had to suffer the ire of the fans on social media as Twitter slammed the lacklustre show.

India has a lot of concerns to address and they will be very disappointed with this result. Many areas to improve on before the World Cup. A special effort by Sri Lanka though. #IndvsSL

India have been short of fire in the end-overs. No fangs. It is a concern

Bhuvi might as well hold up a neon sign above his head before each ball saying ‘full, outside off’. Ridiculous over. Game over. Tournament over. #INDvSL #INDvsSL #AsiaCup2022
