    2nd ODI: Was Trying To Hit Good Areas And Do Basics Right, Says Vandersay On Stunning Six-fer

    Captain Charith Asalanka: Jeffrey Vandersay was called into Sri Lanka’s ODI squad on the eve of the second ODI against India as Wanindu Hasaranga was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. On Sunday, Vandersay made his call-up count by taking a sensational 6-33, which derailed India’s chase and gave Sri Lanka a famous 32-run win.

    “There was assistance on the wicket so I was trying to hit the good areas and do the basics right. This is my first game after some time so I had to bowl in good areas. Once I got the first wicket I built up confidence also. I kept hitting the right areas and with God's grace I was able to get six wickets," said Vandersay on getting Player of the Match award after the game ended.

    Since his debut in December 2015, Vandersay has played 22 ODIs, due to being in and out of the team constantly. But in Sunday’s victory for Sri Lanka, Vandersay became the main hero by taking out Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shivam Dube, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul in 29 balls to pick the seventh-best figures by a Sri Lankan bowler in ODIs, as the hosts’ took 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
