IND vs SL: India will play the first match in the new year without Rohit-Rahul-Kohli, know how strong Hardik’s team is
The new year has begun. Team India will start the new year without veteran players Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. Actually, the series of three T20 matches between India and Sri Lanka is starting from Tuesday. In the T20 series, regular skipper Rohit Sharma is rested while Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have also been rested. In such a situation, Hardik Pandya will captain Team India. A young brigade is being groomed under the leadership of Hardik Pandya who can play an important role in the 2024 World Cup. The One Day World Cup is also to be held this year. In such a situation, there is a high possibility that Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will get a simple chance to play ODIs while Hardik Pandya will continue to lead the young players in T20.

But the question is how strong is Team India without Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. If you look at T20, Team India looks very strong. Team India is fully equipped with youth. Keeping the future in mind, more and more youth are also being given a chance to play in T20. Even if a youth fails here, he can be prepared completely till the coming year. In the team led by Hardik Pandya, such youngsters who have done brilliantly in the IPL can get a chance to play more. Talking about the opening, Ishaan Kishan, Rituraj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill can be responsible for this. If Ishaan Kishan and Rituraj Gaikwad open, Shubman Gill can be seen coming at number three.
Suryakumar Yadav will play the role of vice-captain and can bat at number four. At the same time, either of Rahul Tripathi and Sanju Samson can get a chance to play at number five. It should also be expected that Sanju Samson can open the innings along with Ishaan Kishan. Washington Sundar and Deepak Hooda will play the role of all-rounders in the team. Apart from this, captain Hardik Pandya can also come down to bat at the sixth position. Hardik Pandya can also play the role of third fast bowler in the team. The responsibility of spin bowling will be on Akshar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar. Apart from this, fast bowling will be on Arshdeep Singh, Harshad Patel, Umran Malik, Shivam Mahi and Mukesh Kumar.
