After two resounding victories, India will be “ruthless” when they meet Sri Lanka in the third ODI of the five-match series in Hyderabad on Sunday.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli on Saturday said they will be ruthless and try to win every game they play.

“What we are trying to achieve is being ruthless rather than letting the situations be. In the past it happened a lot when we had got eight wickets then let the last two players get away with it,” he told reporters.

“If you want to be ruthless, want to have big and convincing wins it is important to address the issues that happen in resounding win as well,” he said.

“That’s the kind of hunger and vision that we are trying to instil in this team going into the 2015 World Cup so that every game we play we want to be ruthless, we want to win by big margin,” he added.

“Not really thinking about being 2-0 up. This is about one game at a time. Looking to execute the plan we make before every game. That’s the kind of mindset we want to build before going into the World Cup,” said the middle-order batsman.
