Ind vs SL T20: Team India would like to start 2023 with a win, T20 series starting against Sri Lanka
The T20 series of three matches between India and Sri Lanka is going to start today i.e. from January 3 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The ‘Men in Blue’ will be looking to start 2023 on a winning note against Sri Lanka under the leadership of Hardik Pandya.
After the tour of Bangladesh in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Team India is about to take the field once again. There is a possibility that Shubman Gill can open with Ishaan Kishan in the first T20 match. Rituraj Gaikwad can also get a place in the Indian squad, but its chances are very less. At the same time, Sanju Samson can also be a part of the team. Vice captain Suryakumar Yadav can be sent at number four for batting. Will be dependent on Deepak Hooda and Hardik Pandya.
At the same time, apart from batting, a lot of importance has also been given to the bowlers in the team. Either one of Akshar Patel and Washington Sundar can get a place in the team. These players can give great contributions in both batting and bowling. At the same time, Washington Sundar, who recently bowled brilliantly in the ODI series against Bangladesh, is more likely to be included in the team. Washington Sundar also bowls very well in the powerplay in T20.
These bowlers will get a chance
Only one of Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav can get a chance in the team. Chahal has had a good record in T20 matches against Sri Lanka so far. He dominates the Sri Lankan batsmen. Chahal has taken 20 wickets in 10 matches. In such a situation, the chances of Chahal getting a place in the team are high. Apart from these, Harshal Patel, Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh can also get a place.
This can be playing eleven
