India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Live Telecast Streaming
Dhoni scored a century after the early loss of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, taking India to 301, but Sri Lanka, boosted by a second successive ton from Tillakaratne Dilshan, sealed a three-wicket win in the final over.
Dhoni admitted poor fielding was also a factor in India's failure to defend a competitive score. "This team is the best in batting and we have the best bowlers, but we are not the best fielding side in the world," he said. "We need to score 20 more runs to make up for the fielding lapses."
Dhoni praised India's middle-order batsmen, Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli, who hit half-centuries and played key roles in India's recovery. "Virat batted very well. When he came in there was a lot of pressure. The spinners were bowling well and the fast bowlers were using the bouncers. He is also an excellent fielder either inside or outside the circle.
