The first match of the three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka will be played in Lucknow on Thursday (February 24). After this, two matches will be played in Dharamsala on 26 and 27 February. All eyes are on the playing XI of the Indian team in the first T20. The biggest question is, who will get a chance in the absence of Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Chahar, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant?
The morale of the Indian team is in seventh heaven after winning two consecutive T20 series against New Zealand and West Indies. At the same time, Sri Lanka had lost in the previous series against Australia. Talking about the Indian team, Ravindra Jadeja has returned in the team. He returned to the team after three months. At the same time, Deepak Chahar and Suryakumar Yadav got injured just before the series.
Sanju Samson or Deepak Hooda can get a place in the playing XI if Suryakumar Yadav is out. Of the two, Sanju has the upper hand as Rohit Sharma has praised him a day before the match. He has been described as an important part of the planning of the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, it is expected that Rohit can field Sanju as a middle-order batsman in the match.
Jadeja last played in T20 World Cup
Jadeja last played for the Indian team in T20 against Namibia. Team India won that match of T20 World Cup. However, the Indian team could not go to the next round due to defeats to Pakistan and New Zealand. Now it remains to be seen in whose place Rohit Sharma includes Ravindra Jadeja against Sri Lanka.
Who will be out among Venkatesh Iyer, Harshal Patel and Ravi Bishnoi?
Young all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer is doing well and the Indian think tank would not like to hinder his progress. With Suryakumar out, Venkatesh’s place is considered completely safe. Talking about Harshal Patel, he has also done impressively with the ball. In such a situation, Rohit would like to give him a chance again. In the end Ravi Bishnoi survives. Despite his excellent performance, it is believed that he will have to make sacrifices for Jadeja.
Will Jasprit Bumrah return?
Jasprit Bumrah, the vice-captain of the Indian T20 team, is returning. He did not play in the series against West Indies. He can be brought in the playing XI in place of Mohammad Siraj. Along with Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel will handle the pace attack. Talking about batting, Rohit Sharma can open with Rituraj Gaikwad in this match. In such a situation, Ishaan Kishan will play at number three.
India’s Probable Playing XI:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Rituraj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan (wk), Shreyas Iyer, Sanju Samson, Venkatesh Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal.
