The men in blue under the captaincy of regular skipper Rohit Sharma took on Sri Lanka in the second of the three-match ODI series at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. The Islanders’ skipper Dasun Shanaka won the toss and decided to bat first against India in the penultimate match of the three-match ODI series.
Batting first, the visitors’ batting lineup couldn’t live up to the expectations and got bundled up on the score of 215 runs in 39.4 overs. While chasing the target, the hosts chased down the target in 43.2 overs courtesy of KL Rahul’s perseverant knock of 64 runs including three boundaries. Eventually, the Indian team won the match by four wickets and has now taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match ODI series.
Reacting to KL Rahul’s brilliant knock, the fans came up with some hilarious and interesting memes after his match-defining knock. Notably, the 30-year-old was struggling with a poor run of form with the bat since the 20-20 World Cup 2022. Eventually, Kuldeep Yadav won the player of the match award for his brilliant bowling performance in the first innings against Sri Lanka.
So, without further ado, here we’ll have a look at the top 10 memes after India’s series-clinching victory in the second of the three-match bilateral fixture against Dasun Shanaka’s men.
Here’s a look at the top 10 memes after India vs Sri Lanka 2nd ODI:

Now, both teams will lock horns in the third and last of the three-match ODI series at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, the 15th of January.
Following the conclusion of this white-ball bilateral assignment against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma’s men will take on New Zealand in the three-match ODI series followed by the T20I series of the same number of matches.
Notably, the Indian team is scheduled to play almost six ODI assignments including the Asia Cup 2023 before the commencement of the ODI World Cup 2023 later this year on their home soil.
