Dushmantha Chameera has not been able to assist Akila Dananjaya

Sri Lanka have unearthed a bowling superstar in the young Akila Dananjaya. The 24-year-old, who took six wickets in the second ODI, picked up another two in the third ODI. But apart from him, the other bowlers have not been able to contribute much.

Lasith Malinga, who has a rich wealth of experience of playing against Indian batsmen in the IPL, could manage only a solitary wicket. Milinda Siriwardana, Angelo Mathews and Dushmantha Chameera remained wicketless. Vishwa Fernando could also manage only a solitary wicket.

In the first ODI, all of the bowlers remained wicketless as the Indian openers took their team home without losing a single wicket.
