Team India head coach Rahul Dravid has flown back to Bengaluru after falling ill. Sources told DailyExpertNews that Dravid was unwell throughout Thursday but decided to stay with the team for the second ODI against Sri Lanka in Kolkata which India won by 4 wickets to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.
DailyExpertNews has learned that Dravid took a 3AM flight home on Friday and will not be available for the 3rd ODI at Thiruvananthapuram.
India won the first game of the series in Guwahati by a large margin after the batters put more than 370 runs on the board and Virat Kohli slammed his 45th century.
In the second match, the bowlers came to the party by dismissing Sri Lanka to a less than partial total. Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj shone by claiming 3 wickets each.
However, the chase proved to be tricky with India losing several wickets up front. KL Rahul tied the ship and hit an undefeated half-century to send the team home.
