India v Sri Lanka 3rd ODI at Cuttack Full Highlight video

Full Highlight video 3rd One Day India vs Sri Lanka Played at Cuttack, Barabati Stadium, 21 Dec 2009

India won by 7 wickets (with 44 balls remaining)

Sri Lanka lost nine wickets for 74 runs and slumped to 239. Nehra, Jadeja, Harbhajan and Ishant did the hard work then, and after a rousing 44 from Sehwag, Tendulkar patiently made an unbeaten 96. The fans wanted a century from him but he didn't manage one. Personal records should not matter, because the real victory is that India have taken a lead in the series.

Jadeja is the MoM: When I came on to bowl, I was thinking of bowling well and to apply the pressure. I just wanted to turn the ball and keep it on a wicket to wicket line. Whenever I get an opportunity, would want to perform well for India.

Sehwag: I was just praying that SL do not score 350 or 400 when Dilshan was going strong. Nehra and Jadeja bowled really well. I was in good form and utilised that early on. Sachin batted well and that innings won us the game. Our bowling was fantastic today. It is a team effort and it is a big win.

Sangakkara: The base was set, we got a blazing start, but too many wickets were lost and that was the story of the game. We lost momentum, lost wickets and RJ bowled really well as well. We had to get something with the new ball, the bowlers tried really hard, but not enough runs on the board. We are hit hard with injuries, today we were lacking a bit in discipline and control, and that is what we have to work on.
