India vs Sri Lanka 2017: Rating the Indian players

After being trounced in the first ODI at Dharamshala, the Indian team bounced back in some style as they crushed Sri Lanka in the next two matches, thus clinching the three-match series 2-1.

This is India's eighth consecutive win in ODI series who haven't lost a bilateral series in any format in 2017.

Here in this article, we rate the Indian players.

Rohit Sharma: 8/10

Rohit was good as the captain

The Indian captain had a disastrous start to his captaincy tenure, both as a batsman and as a leader when his side was demolished in Dharamshala.

However, he announced his resurgence in a grand style in Mohali, where he plundered 209 runs and won India the game.

In the third ODI, his captaincy was tested for the first time and he came out with flying colours as he impressed with his tactics and bowling changes.

Shikhar Dhawan: 9.5/10

Dhawan capped off his sterling run in ODIs this year with another superb century in the final ODI and sealed the chase for India with ease.

He scored 168 runs in three innings and won the Player of the Series award. His positive approach at the top of the order was instrumental in India pocketing the series.
