Kris Srikkanth says India messed up after Colombo draw hurts WTC hopes

Former India captain Kris Srikkanth criticised the team's performance after the drawn second Test in Colombo damaged their World Test Championship prospects. India remained fifth in the WTC standings after failing to complete a 2-0 series win over Sri Lanka.

Srikkanth said India had missed a significant opportunity and warned that Australia could also challenge them at home. The team now needs victories in at least six of their remaining seven WTC matches to stay in contention for the final.

The former captain's comments reflect concerns about India's ability to close out matches against determined opposition. The draw leaves their WTC qualification hopes dependent on results in upcoming series against New Zealand and Australia.
