After taking an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match ODI series against the hosts Sri Lanka India skipper Virat Kohli hinted that he can make few changes in the playing XI in the remainder of the series. The Men in Blue had played three-ODI matches without making a change but now players like Manish Pandey can get a game in next two matches. “We have a squad of 15, we’ll look to give some of the other guys a go. Having won the series already, we can afford to give those guys a go,” said Kohli at the post-match presentation after India beat Sri Lanka by six wickets in third ODI. Chasing a modest target of 218, India felt the heat for the second game in a row after being 61 for four in the 16th over. Kohli, however, insisted that chasing smaller targets are not a problem for his side. “Small targets are always tricky. If it happens to you two or three times, I don’t think it’s an issue. Here the wicket was a bit more challenging. “The last game we had a collapse. The other batsmen really applied themselves. We have to be a bit patient with the younger players,” said Kohli. The India skipper heaped praise on pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who picked up his maiden five-wicket haul. “He’s got 11 wickets in three games, he’s bowled really well. Last game he missed out on a five-for, but he got it this time. He’s doing a great job for us,” Kohli added.
