IndiaFormer Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif criticized the Indian team's approach during the Colombo Test, arguing that they failed to maintain the necessary intensity and urgency to secure a decisive result. Despite being in a strong position to complete a 2-0 series sweep, India could not finish the job as Sri Lanka's Sonal Dinusha scored an unbeaten century to save the Test, resulting in a draw. This outcome left India with a 1-0 series victory and complicated their path to the World Test Championship Final, as they now need to win at least six of their remaining seven Tests. Kaif specifically highlighted the absence of Virat Kohli, who he believed would have kept the team motivated and pressured the opposition through constant communication and aggression.
