IND vs SL: The three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka is starting from July 27. Team India is all set for this series with a new captain. Recently, after winning the T20 World Cup title in the West Indies, Team India’s star player Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the T20 format. In such a situation, BCCI has made Suryakumar Yadav the new captain of Team India in the T20 format.
The biggest question is how will Team India’s playing 11 be under the captaincy of Surya. Team India is working hard for the first match of the series. In such a situation, let us know what Team India’s possible playing 11 can be like for the first match.
IND vs SL: This will be India’s opening pair!
Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal can take the field as Team India’s opening pair against Sri Lanka. Both these players also opened for India during the T20 series played against Zimbabwe after the World Cup. However, during that time Abhishek Sharma came to open with Shubman in the first two matches. Jaiswal had not reached Zimbabwe till then.
After this Rishabh Pant will take responsibility at number three. Pant also batted at number three during the T20 World Cup. Where he performed brilliantly for Team India on many important occasions. Pant will also play the role of wicketkeeper. After Pant, Team India’s new captain Suryakumar Yadav will bat at number four. Surya is in great form.
These players will have the responsibility of the middle order
During this series, the middle order of the Indian team looks very strong. Where along with all-rounder players, there are also excellent finishers. Rinku Singh can be seen playing at number 5 against Sri Lanka. Shivam Dubey can be at number six, Hardik Pandya at number seven and Axar Patel at number eight. However, these four players can be moved up or down according to the circumstances of the match. Especially Rinku Singh. If Team India needs a finisher in the top order, then Rinku Singh can also come to bat in the top order against Sri Lanka. Apart from this, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel will play the role of all-rounders in the playing 11.
This will be the bowling unit
Talking about the bowlers, Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj will take up their responsibilities as bowlers in the playing 11. At the same time, with three all-rounders, the Indian team will have a total of 6 options in bowling. Talking about Mohammad Siraj, his record against Sri Lanka has been very good. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes will definitely be on him. Ravi Bishnoi will be the spinner in this playing 11. Who will be supported by Axar Patel in the spin unit.
