The Indian fielding coach R Sridhar on Saturday said they will continue to experiment with different players in the upcoming matches.
"The way we look at every game is that we take something into the next game and the remaining part of the series. I think the way the last game shaped up was a wonderful learning curve for us. Even before the series started, we all knew that there was going to be some experiments from us going ahead over the next 18 months. It has been a great learning," the fielding coach said.
"Akila Dananjaya bowled brilliantly in the last game. We take that forward, and we'll make sure we won't repeat the same mistakes going forward.We wanted to give the other players a hit because Rahul hadn't batted in the middle in a one-day game so we wanted to give him that opportunity. It was just an experiment. (But) It won't stop," he said.
"We will try out different players in different slots to get the best exposure to get the best out of each player. That's the endeavor of the team management," Sridhar added.
