IND VS SL: Team India eyes T20 series after Test and ODI

New Delhi: The Indian team, which is consistently winning the series in all three formats of the game, is eyeing another series win. On Wednesday, he will face Sri Lanka in Cuttack in the first match of the three T20 matches. After defeating Sri Lanka in the Test and ODI series, India will now want to dust in the T-20 series. Even before this, India had defeated Sri Lanka in three formats in his house. India has an advantage over Sri Lanka in T20. India has won 7 matches against Sri Lanka in the smallest format of the game, while it has lost four Although India's last match was not good on this ground. In 2015, South Africa piled up only 92 runs. In this series, the Indian team will be in the hope of getting the new T20 captain Captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit was also captain in ODI. Rohit has been given captaincy due to Virat Kohli being rested. Apart from Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit has another Salami partner in the series, Lokesh Rahul.

Former team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is ready to handle the team in the middle. His responsibilities are to shine young players like Shreyas Aiyar, Deepak Hooda. Iyer had two half-centuries in two successive matches in the ODI series. They would also like to continue the same form in T20 Apart from these, the team has two such players in the form of Dinesh Karthik and Hardik Pandya, who can provide consistency to the lower order of the team. India has a T20 specialist bowler like Jaspreet Bumrah. However his partner Bhuvneshwar Kumar is not with him in this series. Although Bumrah will have to share the burden of bowling with young and talented players like Mohammad Siraj, Basil Thumpi. Looking at the performance of Siraj and Thampi in domestic cricket, it is expected that both of them will not disappoint the team when they get the opportunity. The left-arm fast bowler Jaidev Unadkat also has a good option for the team as well. He also has the experience of international cricket. At the same time, Sri Lanka are descending after losing five consecutive T-20 matches in this match. For him, Upul Tharanga and former captain Angelo Mathews are the most important players. Tharanga scored 95 runs in the third ODI, while Mathews made hundreds in the second ODI. In addition to these two, the team will be expected to do well with wicketkeeper-batsman Nirosho Dikewal.

Talking about bowling, the team will depend entirely on their strike bowler Suranga Lakmal. Luckman has done well for both the teams in both Tests and ODIs. Apart from them, it is the responsibility of Nakan Pradeep, Vakva Fernando, to support Lakmal. The spin department will be responsible for the shoulders of Sachin Tendulkar, although the T20 does not have much experience in the team, but given the one-day performance, the team will certainly have expectations.
