India-Sri Lanka first T20 match today. Both the teams will face each other in the Sri Lanka Poolekel. India will play Oban Day match with 3 T20. India will be coached by new captain Suryakumar Jadhav and coach Gautam Gambhir while Sri Lanka will be coached by Charirth Ashalanka and Sanath Jayasuriya.
After winning the T20 World Cup-2024 title, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, India won the T20 series against Zimbabwe 4-1. Now, under the leadership of new captain Suryakumar Jacob, he is going to play the T20 series against Sri Lanka. On the other hand, under the coaching of head coach Gautam Gambhir, the team is going to play a series for the first time.
The team to watch is expected to play with 5 specialist batsmen in the batting order. Shubman Gill, Yashvi Jaiswal will open as batsman. One of the wicketkeepers Vhabe Rushav Pant and Sanju Samson will play. There is a lot of potential to bowl. Pant, who batted at number 3 in the T20 World Cup, can bat at the same position. Suryakumar Jacob is expected to bat at number 4 and Shivam Dube at number 5.
Hardik Pandya and Akshar Patel as all-rounders, Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar as spinners. Mohammad Siraj and Arshdeep Singh are likely to play in the fast bowling sector. Even though the team won the T20I series in Zimbabwe before the series against Sri Lanka, the tour to Sri Lanka will not be easy. It remains to be seen how Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar’s new strategy is reflected on the field.
