Asia Cup 2025 | 'No mental block against India': SL coach Jayasuriya

Sanath Jayasuriya

Sri Lanka head coach Sanath Jayasuriya has asserted his side doesn't have a "mental block" against India after going down in the Super Over to Suryakumar Yadav and Co in an inconsequential Asia Cup Super 4s match.

The legendary cricketer said that he was fairly satisfied with his boys, saying this team can go very far despite losing all three Super 4s games in the tournament. "I would've preferred to finish games in normal time. No captain or coach wants to go to a Super Over," said Jayasuriya.

"Unfortunately, Dasun [Shanaka] missed completing the third run. But no, there's no mental block against India. Our batting line-up is strong, and we've given them confidence. Chasing 200 [203] is never easy, but we almost did it, which shows the quality we have," he added.
