The team management along with selectors had decided to chase in case of winning the toss in the must-win game and clear instructions had given to the skipper. However Kapugedara did the opposite after winning the toss as he decided to bat first.

“We have decided to call him up for an inquiry,” said a SLC officials. “After the incident he had apologized to the team but it was a costly mistake. After batting first Sri Lanka were restricted for 217 runs in their 50 overs. India reached the target for the loss of six wickets to take an inaccessible 3-0 lead in the series.

Kapugedera will not make any part in the rest of the tournament as he is ruled out with a back injury.
