Sri Lanka defeated India by 32 runs in the second ODI of the three-match series on Sunday at Colombo's R Premadasa stadium.

Chasing 241, India were bowled out for 208 in 42.2 overs with Jeffrey Vandersay taking 6/33 in his 10 overs.

Skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave India a brilliant start, adding 97 runs for the first wicket before Vandersay dismissed Rohit on 64.

During his innings, Rohit surpassed former head coach Rahul Dravid for the most ODI runs among Indian batters. Rohit (10,831) now trails only Sachin Tendulkar (18,426), Virat Kohli (13,886), and Sourav Ganguly (11,221) for the most ODI runs by an Indian batter.

Gill was the next to depart, scoring 35, with Vandersay claiming his second wicket. Shivam Dube, promoted up the order, failed to open his account and fell in the same over.

Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul were the next to go, as India's score plummeted from 97/0 to 147/6 in less than 10 overs—all to Vandersay.

Axar Patel and Washington Sundar then tried to steady the innings, adding 38 runs for the seventh wicket. Sri Lankan skipper Charith Asalanka dismissed both batters within the space of five runs, leaving India seven down for less than 200.

The Sri Lankan skipper returned to take India's ninth wicket, Mohammed Siraj, with the score at 201, before a run-out seven runs later ended the match.

Earlier, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first. The decision, however, proved costly as Mohammed Siraj dismissed Pathum Nissanka on the first ball of the match.

Avishka Fernando and Kusal Mendis then added 74 runs for the second wicket before Sundar dismissed both of them within the space of five runs.

After losing wickets in the middle overs, Dunith Wellalage and Kamindu Mendis added 72 runs for the eighth wicket and took Sri Lanka past 200 before Kuldeep sent back Wellalage in the 47th over.

A couple of run-outs in the last over, however, meant Sri Lanka scored 240/9 in their 50 overs.

For India, Sundar finished with 3/30 in his 10 overs, while Kuldeep took 2/33 in his 10. Apart from them, Siraj and Axar also took one wicket each.
