After their 139 run defeat, Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said that toss will play a crucial role in Monday’s final of the tri-nation Compaq cup against the host Sri Lanka. Dhoni said that it was just an off-day for the team and whoever comes out lucky with toss on Moday will have an edge in clinching the cup. Dhoni also said that Indian team needs to work on in bowling area.
India had an optional practice session on Sunday after their two back to back games and most of the players preferred rest. Dhoni also rued the absence of his regular opening pair of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, who missed the tournament due to injury and said the batting department was badly missing the duo’s services. He however refused to give information about the playing eleven for the Monday’s final.
