India would look to guard against complacency and ensure to keep up their winning momentum as they go into the third one-day cricket international against Sri Lanka in Jaipur on Monday.A backlash can never be ruled out by the Lanka Lions but Marvan Atapattu's men have a huge task if they have to stop the Indians who have thoroughly outplayed them in the first two one dayers. Skipper Rahul Dravid admitted his side would be wary of a Sri Lankan fightback and be on guard to ensure complacency does not creep into the ranks. "We cannot afford to take them lightly, they are capable of bouncing back and there is still a lot of cricket to be played in the series," he said. However, the fact is that the world's number two team has been completely thrown out of gear and left groping for a strategy that can undo the Indians. The sudden turn around in fortunes of the two teams could not have been more contrasting. Only a week ago, Indian cricket was in a turmoil following the Ganguly-Chappell spat, not to mention the shameful episodes surrounding the Board elections. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, were coming into the series with the reputation of world number two ranked ODI team and the confidence of having beaten the rivals comprehensively in a tri-series at home only recently. in-depth coverage > India-Sri Lanka Series 2005 > |
