    "editor1": "<p>Sri Lanka coach Mickey Arthur on Wednesday brushed off suggestions that he berated skipper Dasun Shanaka in front of cameras after they lost a one-day series to India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India passed Sri Lanka&#39;s 275-9 with five balls to spare in Colombo on Tuesday to record a win that gave them a 2-0 lead in the three-game series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka&#39;s South African coach was seen sharing heated words with Shanaka and gesturing at the captain on the field after the game they lost by three wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He appeared to indicate that Shanaka should go with him off the field but the captain did not budge while Arthur walked away, in a video widely shared on social media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sUBY43Sk1x\">pic.twitter.com\/sUBY43Sk1x<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; cric fun (@cric12222) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cric12222\/status\/1417562676998205440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It was actually a very good debate, no need to make mischief out of it,&quot; Arthur said on Twitter responding to match commentator Russel Arnold&#39;s comment that the exchange should have been held in the dressing room.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka went into the series with injuries and without batting coach Grant Flower who tested positive for Covid-19 on his return with the team from a tour of England where they lost both the ODI and Twenty20 series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Top scorer Charith Asalanka, who made 65, said Sri Lanka thought they had won the game, but India&#39;s lower order fought back.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>From 193-7, Deepak Chahar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar put on an unbeaten stand of 84 for the eighth wicket to secure India&#39;s win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We thought we put up a good total (of 275), but we lost the plot along the way,&quot; Asalanka said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sri Lanka&#39;s young team was emotional after losing the series, he said. The final ODI is on Friday and the three-match T20 series begins on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n",
